Battle of Mindouos
Part of the Iberian War From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Mindouos[2] was fought between the Persians and Byzantines just after the battle of Thannuris (528). Procopius wrongly claimed that the two battles were one.[3] The Byzantine commander Belisarius was ordered to build a fortress at the location.[3] When Persian forces arrived in the area, his forces were routed in a battle on a nearby hill.[3] As Belisarius was promoted shortly afterwards, it is likely that he was not seen as being responsible himself for the defeat.[3] It is possible but unlikely that Belisarius was not the overall commander of the Byzantine army, but a junior partner.[3]
