493 CE

The Roman general Diogenianus besieges Claudiopolis, an ancient city of Cappadocia, but his army is blocked in the mountain passes by the Isaurians.

John the Hunchback (John Gibbo) comes to his aid and wins an overwhelming victory against the rebels in 493 and drives the rebels back to Isauria, where, despite numerical inferiority, they continue to battle imperial forces.
