568 CE to 579 CE

A war fought from 572 to 591 between the Sassanian Empire of Persia and the Eastern Roman Empire, termed by modern historians as the Byzantine Empire, is triggered by pro-Constantinople revolts in areas of the Caucasus under Persian hegemony, although other events contribute to its outbreak.

The fighting is largely confined to the southern Caucasus and Mesopotamia, although it also extends into eastern Anatolia, Syria, and northern Iran.
