September 845 CE

The Abbasids are unable to exploit their success due to the internal instability of the Caliphate.

Likewise, the Empire prefers to focus its strength against the ongoing conquest of Sicily by the Aghlabids.

Thus, an imperial embassy is sent to Samarra in 845, which is warmly received.

The Abbasids reciprocate with an embassy to Constantinople, where the two states agree on a truce and a prisoner exchange, which is held at the river Lamos on September, 16, 845.
