Origin

After the Anastasian War, a seven-year truce was agreed on, yet it lasted for nearly twenty years. Even during the war in 505, Anastasius I had already started fortifying Dara as a counter to the Persian fortress city of Nisbis for a looming conflict. Kavadh I tried to force the Christian Iberians to become Zoroastrians even though they were already under Persian rule. The Roman side could not keep from interfering against the Persians.

War

By 526, indecisive fighting broke out in the Transcaucasus region and upper Mesopotamia. The Iberian king fled from the Persians. The Romans abandoned their siege of the Persian-held Nisbis in 527 and the Persian-allied Alamundarus, the Arabian warlike leader of the Saracens, raided toward Antiochia in 529 but didn't reach the city for their fear of Roman attack and thus precipitated into the Euphrates and 100,000 drowned in the panic. Following emperor Justin I’s death in 527, Justinian I ascended to the imperial throne. Kavadh tried to make peace with the new emperor by attempting to have Justinian adopt his son Khosrau I. Justinian refused and sent his generals Sittas and Belisarius into Persia in which they were initially defeated. However, Belisarius proved to be an able and effective commander. In June 530, he led the Romans to victory over the much larger Persian force through his superior generalship in the battle of Dara. Belisarius’s forces faced defeat in the battle of Nisbis on the same year and again in the battle of Callinicum in 531 causing his dismissal. Events May 20 - Syria and Antioch. ...
