As they were trying to build a fortress in Minduous, the Byzantines were defeated by the Sasanian army.[2] Belisarius managed to flee but the Sasanians destroyed the buildings. Despite their victory, the Persians suffered heavy losses, angering Kavadh I, the Sasanian king of Persia. BackgroundAfter the death of the emperor Justin I in 527, his successor Justinian I was determined to continue the war against the Sassanid Empire. He appointed Belisarius as magister militum of the East and put him in charge of strengthening the Byzantine positions and building a new fortress near Dara to protect the region from Persian raids. Thannuris appeared to be a convenient place for a city and a military force to be stationed but the current fort was vulnerable. He began firstly by overseeing the strengthening of the fortifications.[3] BattleAt the same time, a Persian army under prince Xerxes with 30,000 men invaded Mesopotamia. Perceiving the threat, other Byzantine units and Ghassanid allies joined the forces of Belisarius to protect Roman workers undertaking the construction of the fort. As the building operations were progressing, the Persian army rose up. Despite the Byzantine efforts, the Persians managed to close up to the walls and breach them.[4] Belisarius tried to counter-attack with his cavalry but was defeated and ordered to withdraw to Dara. The end of the battle was disastrous for the Byzantine army. Belisarius managed to escape but two commanders were killed and three captured.{{sfn|Bury|2015|p=81}} Jabalah IV ibn al-Harith, ruler of the Ghassanids, who fought under the Belisarius' command as a Byzantine vassal, fell from his horse and was killed by the Persians.[5]Coutzes's fate is uncertain. Procopius writes that he was taken prisoner and never seen again, while Zacharias of Mytilene records that he was killed.[6]AftermathAfter the battle, the foundations of the new fortress were left in the hands of the Persians who then began to destroy them.{{sfn|Bury|2015|p=81}} The Byzantine army retreated to Dara, but some of the infantry died of thirst on the march.[7] Despite their victory, the Persians suffered heavy losses and then retreated behind the frontier. In particular, the loss of 500 Immortals from the Imperial Guard, made the king of Persia Kavadh I angry. Despite his victory, the general Xerxes was disgraced shortly after the battle by Kavadh I.[8] The Byzantine emperor Justinian sent additional troops to reinforce the border fortresses of Amida, Constantia, Edessa, Sura and Beroea. He also raised a new army which was placed under the command of Pompeius, but a severe winter interrupted further operations until the end of the year.{{sfn|Bury|2015|p=81}} See also
