Theophylact (Latin: Theofilactus or Theophylactus; Ancient Greek: Θεοφύλακτος, romanized: Theophúlaktos) was Exarch of Ravenna from 701 or 702 to 709, succeeding John II Platinus.
[1] Shortly after his promotion, Theophylact marched from Sicily to Rome, where John VI had recently been made Pope.
The local soldiers threatened Theophylactus, but John managed to subdue them; several of the exarch's minions, however, were set upon.
Theodore, upon reaching Ravenna, invited all of the leading citizens of the city to attend a banquet.
Theophylact was apparently not a victim of the catastrophe, but had little control over the situation, and the exarchate was severely weakened.
