Probably...or maybe there were some usurpers or co-emperors also named Alexander. I have a text book that just calls him "Alexander" though, so "Alexander (emperor)" should work well enough here.

Ah, but "Alexander of Byzantium" is probably not going to work...that implies he is from the ancient city of Byzantium. We moved all these articles away from that terminology years ago...

Hi Adam. I thought that would work as disambiguation and would be consistent with the practice for other rulers (e.g., Harald III of Norway). Do you think "Alexander (emperor)" would work better (unless it's already linked to Severus Alexander)? I would be happy to move the page to another title, but let's agree on a satisfactory option. I cannot imagine how one can define this Alexander as the third. Second, maybe, as Severus Alexander was a legitimate emperor, but he is usually "Severus Alexander" even when his name is simplified (omitting other names).

I just checked. "Alexander (emperor)", "Alexander (Byzantine)", and "Alexander (Byzantine emperor)" are all free. Any ideas or other suggestions? The Empress Theodora shows up as "Theodora (11th century)". Actually any such usage would require a disambiguation page.
