Iberian War

526–532 CE

The conflict grew from disputes over Caucasian kingdoms and frontier fortifications. Roman and Persian forces fought across Armenia and Mesopotamia.

Belisarius won a major defensive victory at Dara in AD 530 but was defeated at Callinicum the following year. The war ended with the so-called Eternal Peace of 532.

Count Belisarius presents these campaigns as the foundation of the general's reputation and as an early test of his relationship with Justinian's court.
