Eastern Roman Empire

Philippikos , who had previously exercised command in the east, is again commander-in-chief of the Oriental Army (see also Roman-Persian Wars ).
- Summer: The Eastern Roman Empire triumphs over the Sassanid Empire in the Battle of Martyropolis .
- Conquest of the Slavs in the Balkans : An Eastern Roman campaign under the command of the general Priskos fails in the Balkans. This encourages the Avars to advance to Herakleia on the Marmara Sea .
