Battle of Thacia
Byzantine battle in modern Tunisia, 545
The Battle of Thacia took place in the autumn of 545, in Thacia. The Byzantine loyalists led by John the Armenian confronted the Berber rebel Antalas and his ally Stotzas, a renegade Byzantine. In the clash, the outnumbered Byzantines were defeated and John was killed, but not before mortally wounding Stotzas. The Byzantine rout triggers a crisis in Carthage.
