History
Abu Abd Allah Muhammad, al-Mu'tazz, was Abbasid caliph from 866 until Turkish soldiers killed him on 16 July 869. His reign sits inside the Anarchy at Samarra, when the caliph's guards in Samarra made and unmade rulers. A dinar of AH 253, which is 867–868, carries his name.
The 867 map gives his realm about 127 counties and calls it the Arabian Empire. The political fact of the start is that the army in Samarra can end the reign, which historically it did two years later.
