Belisarius' invasion of Mesopotamia

From Warlike

Q127326892




In 541, General Belisarius of the Byzantine Empire led a counter-offensive in Persian territory into Mesopotamia, as part of a counter-offensive against the Persian King Khosrow I's prior invasion of the Roman East in 540. Upon his arrival in the East, Belisarius quickly instilled order in his army and joined Buzes and the Army of Armenia. Belisarius moved past the well fortified city of Nisibis and he managed to capture and destroy the walled town of Sisauranon. Belisarius then proceeded to dispatch his Ghassanid Arab allies to conduct a successful raid on Persian land across the Tigris.
