Unsuccessful attempt by the Umayyad Caliphate to capture the Byzantine city of Nicaea in 727

Part of the Arab–Byzantine Wars

The siege of Nicaea of 727 was an unsuccessful attempt by the Umayyad Caliphate to capture the Byzantine city of Nicaea, the capital of the Opsician Theme. Ever since its failure to capture the Byzantine Empire's capital, Constantinople, in 717–718, the Caliphate had launched a series of raids into Byzantine Asia Minor.
