Aurès campaign

The Aurès campaign of 539 was a military expedition led by the magister militum of Roman Africa, Solomon against the Berbers of the Aurès mountains, especially the Kingdom of the Aurès, during the Byzantine–Moorish wars. The area served as a refuge and a base of operation for Berber insurgents against Byzantine authority following the Berber defeat at the Battle of Bourgaon, protected by the Berber king of the Aures, Iabdas. The expedition resulted in a Byzantine victory, the conquest of the region, and the destruction of the Kingdom of the Aures, which would only be re-established after the disastrous Byzantine defeat at the Battle of Cillium.
