541 CE
Belisarius, despite his initial successes in the Italian campaign against the Goths, is recalled to Constantinople in 541 by Justinian, who fears that his general will be proclaimed Emperor in the West by his troops.
Charged by the emperor with handling the situation in Armenia, Belisarius arrives in Upper Mesopotamia and attacks the fortress city of Nisibis.
After a unsuccessful siege he is forced to ravage the country.
