After the war Anastasius rewarded his generals with the consulship: John the Scythian held the post in 498 and John Gibbo in 499. Anastasius also ordered architect Aetherius to build the Chalke Gate to the Great Palace of Constantinople to celebrate the victory,[4] and the poet Christodorus commemorated the war in a now-lost poem in six books, entitled Isaurica.[5]
