		Belisarius, with the help the magister militum of Illyria, Mundus, suppressed the rebellion in a bloodbath that is said to have claimed the lives of 20,000 people.
		Belisarius took the field and waged a brief, inconclusive campaign against them, but ultimately (545) was able to negotiate a peace (aided with payment of a large sum of money, 5000 pounds of gold), in which the Persians agreed not to attack Roman territory, not for eternity, but for five years.
		Belisarius was forced to go on the defensive, and in 548, Justinian relieved him in favor of Narses, of whom he was more trustful.

		But the fame of Belisarius was not sullied by a defeat, in which he alone had saved his army from the consequences of their own rashness: the approach of peace relieved him from the guard of the eastern frontier, and his conduct in the sedition of Constantinople amply discharged his obligations to the emperor.
		Belisarius fixed his residence in the palace; seated himself on the throne of Genseric; accepted and distributed the Barbaric spoil; granted their lives to the suppliant Vandals; and labored to repair the damage which the suburb of Mandracium had sustained in the preceding night.
		Belisarius introduced his ships into the deepest recess of the harbour; their boats were laboriously hoisted with ropes and pulleys to the top-mast head, and he filled them with archers, who, from that superior station, commanded the ramparts of the city.

	Belisarius' Bid for Rome
		Belisarius had taken the city back as part of Emperor Justinian's grand plan to recover the western provinces from their barbarian rulers.
		The 5,000 soldiers that General Belisarius led included Hunnish and Moorish auxiliaries, and they were expected to defend circuit walls 12 miles in diameter against an enemy who would soon be back--and who would outnumber them at least 10-to-1.
		The typical Byzantine general adapted his actions to meet his foes--whether Goth, Persian or, later, Arab--such as using horse archers against lancers, or lancers against horse archers where they could be trapped and ridden down.

		Everybody's favorite general is leading an outnumbered Roman-Persian force to check Malwa aggression in the east, forced to action by the fiends' sea-borne invasion of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and their subsequent siege of Babylon.
		If Belisarius is a Craftsmaster of War, she is a Cook, seasoning the siege of an impregnable fortress with a dash of force and a soupcon of violence in a display of lateral thinking that left me dumbfounded, admiring, awestruck, and laughing like hell.
		It is written in three parallel streams-General Belisarius allied with Persians to defend Babylon against an overwhelming alien-led Malwa invasion, his wife Antonina attempting to recover Egypt as the foundry of empire, and a rebel empress subverting the Malwa powerbase in the Ghats of India.

	Medieval Sourcebook: Procopius: The Reconquest of Africa, 534
		Belisarius, upon reaching Byzantium with Gelimer [last king of the Vandals, captured by Belisarius in 534] and the Vandals, was counted worthy to receive such honours, as in former times were assigned to those generals of the Romans who had won the greatest and most noteworthy victories.
		And there were slaves in the triumph, among whom was Gelimer himself, wearing some sort of a purple garment upon his shoulders, and all his family, and as many of the Vandals as were very tall and fair of body.
		For he had the fortune to be advanced to the office of consul, and therefore was borne aloft by the captives, and as he was thus carried in his curule chair, he threw to the populace those very spoils of the Vandalic war.

		When Belisarius was in Syracuse as the conqueror of Sicily, she made her master swear solemnly never to betray her to her mistress, and then told him the whole story, presenting s witnesses two slave boys attending the bed-chamber.
		Belisarius had just taken the fort of Sisauranum when the news of her coming was brought to him; and he, setting everything else as nothing in comparison, ordered the army to retire.
		Belisarius, although none of the charges against him were proved, was at the insistence of the Empress relieved of his command by the Emperor; who appointed Martinus in his place as General of the armies of the East.

		In this painting, Belisarius is begging for alms at the foot of a monument redolent of military triumph.
		The theme is surely the awsome power of tyranny, but in typical neo-classical form, the faces are very noble--those of the woman, the child, and the old man are particularly beautiful--and personify different spiritual aspects of grandeur.

		General Belisarius was planning on a long lead-up to the campaign, waiting for favorable weather after the Monsoon season, but his wife, the Persians and Axumites are each able to provide persuasive arguments and logistics that finally convince Belisarius that attacking early is his best bet.
		Belisarius' quick analysis of the possible and the probable is still something we marvel at today, and the extra dimensions afforded by Aide in knowing how the future played out has put powerful capability into play.

		After all, Emperor Justinian was born a peasant; Empress Theodora was a prostitute; Narses, the principal advisor to the emperor, was a eunuch; the great General Belisarius himself was a minor noble from a rural province and his beloved wife, Antonina, another former prostitute.
		Belisarius is shown as a great general, as he was in history.
		The Malwa are guided by a computer from the future called "Link." Belisarius has his own guide from the future: a living, jewel-like entity named "Aide." This aspect of the stories may have more to do with marketing (putting the books on the science fiction shelves) than with the needs of the story.
