140px|thumb|right|The Column of Phocas, erected by Smaragdus in the [[Roman Forum.]] Smaragdus () was Exarch of Ravenna from 585 to 589 and again from 603 to 611.
During his first tenure, Smaragdus made an alliance with the Franks and Avars against the perennial foes of the Exarchate, the Lombards, and appeared poised to extinguish the Lombard power before it had been fully established. However, the effort came to nothing, for the Franks were not as serious about fighting the Lombards as Smaragdus was. One notable military achievement during his first reign was the recovery of Classis, the port of Ravenna, from the Lombards in 588.
