Leo III proclaims Iconoclasm the official policy of the Byzantine Empire. Pope Gregory II (reigned 715-731) and his successor, Gregory III (reigned 731-741), object to the imposition of Iconoclasm on churches in Byzantine areas of Italy, leading to further estrangement of the eastern and western Christian Churches. Ravenna revolts against Iconoclasm and makes an alliance with the Lombards, while Venice helps the Byzantines to retain some of their Italian territory.
