  • On April 19, 531, the Byzantine army, which had been fighting the Persians for Iberia for 5 years, fough them at Callinicum. Both sides had an army of 20,000 men, with the Byzantines led by Belisarius, versus the Persians lead by Azarethes. Belisarius began by forming his troops in a strong, yet unusual, position, made to confuse the Persians, while his opponent formed his army in a strong, and well-placed, position. Belisarius placed his Ghassanid allies on his left flank, believing that would be the side his enemy would attack first. This proved wrong when the Persian cavalry attacked his right flank. But Belisarius' troops held firm, and the cavalry charge was repulsed, leaving a big hole in the Persian's line. The Byzantines counterattacked early in the afternoon, and forced the Persians into a full-scale retreat. The Byzantines relentlessly pursued them, and pushed the Persians back into Persia, who sued for peace in 532.
