Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor (779)

Failed campaign against the Byzantines

The Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor in 779 AD was a large retaliatory summer expedition launched by the Abbasid Caliphate against the Byzantine Empire, for military setbacks in previous years. The campaign was marked by effective use of scorched earth and Fabian strategies by the Byzantines, by order of the Emperor Leo IV, in stopping the efforts of the Abbasid army to capture major settlements.
