Battle of Anusan (795)
Battle of the Arab-Byzantine wars
The Battle of Anusan or Battle of Anousa occurred on the 8th of May 795 in Anatolia, and was fought between forces of the Byzantine Empire under the command of Emperor Constantine VI, and an invading Abbasid army. The result was a celebrated Byzantine victory, though it did not decisively improve the empire's strategic position in its conflict with the caliphate.
