1004 CE

Samuel, returning homeward from Adrianople with his extensive plunder, is intercepted near the town of Skopje by an imperial army commanded by the emperor.

Basil's forces storm the Bulgarian camp, inflicting a severe defeat on the Bulgarians and recovering the plunder of Adrianople.

Skopje surrenders shortly after the battle, and its governor, Romanos, is treated with overt kindness by the Emperor.
