Battle of Arzamon (605)

Battle during the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628

The Battle of Arzamon was fought between the armies of the Sasanian Shahenshah, Khosrow II Parviz, and a Byzantine army in Mesopotamia, led by Leontius, in late 604 or early 605. After two days of fighting, the Sasanians inflicted a decisive defeat upon the Byzantines, which exposed Dara to a renewed Sasanian offensive.
