The Siege of Phasis(AD 555-556): How Deception Turned the Tide

In 541 A.D., the Lazic War erupted when the Lazi, led by King Gubazes II, switched allegiance from Byzantium to Persia. However, fearing Persian treachery, Gubazes sought Byzantine aid. In 555 A.D., Persian General Nachoragan besieged Phasis, a key Laz-Byzantine stronghold. Outnumbered and facing daunting odds, the Byzantines, under the command of Martin and Justin, mounted a stunning defense.

Learn how the strategic brilliance of Martin and his deception tactics, the fierce cavalry charge led by Justin, and the chaos unleashed by rampaging elephants turned the tide of this crucial conflict.
