Battle of Sis
704 or 705 Byzantine victory over the Umayyads
The Battle of Sis or Battle of Sisia was fought between the armies of the Byzantine Empire and the Umayyad Caliphate in either 704 or 705, near the town of Sis. The Byzantines led by general Heraclius won a major victory, though this defeat did not decisively thwart the Umayyad advances and territorial gains against Byzantium in the early 8th century.
