739 CE

Leo has repaired the extensive walls of Constantinople, and has maintained peaceful relations with the Bulgarians to the north, enabling him to concentrate his military abilities against the Arab menace to Asia Minor.

When the Caliphate invades imperial territory in 739, Leo dispatches imperial forces to engage them in Phrygia.
