Hamazaspes (Greek: Ἁμαζάσπης; fl. 814–815) was a high-ranking Byzantine official who held the title of protasekretis, overseeing the imperial chancery. During the period of 814–815, he aligned himself with Emperor Leo V the Armenian's iconoclastic policies.[1][2] The name Hamazaspes is derived from the Middle Persian Hamāzāsp, which translates to "owner of warhorses", and was common among both Persians and the Armenian nobility.[1] As a result, it is unclear whether this specific Hamazaspes was of Iranian or Armenian heritage.[1]
