Topic: Battle of Callinicum


  
  Battle of Callinicum
The Battle of Callinicum took place between the armies of the Eastern Roman Empire under the command of General Belisarius and Persians under Azarethes on April 19, 531 AD.
Belisarius had been skirmishing with the Persian forces after the Battle of Dara[?] in an attempt to incite a rout, but the Persians were generally successful at Callinicum and both sides withdrew.
Callinicum ended the Belisarius' Persian campaigns, returning all of the land lost to them to Roman rule under Justinian I in the Perpetual Peace agreement signed in September of 532.
