513 CE

The victory consolidates Vitalian's position.

With the spoils, he is able to lavishly reward his followers, and at the news of the imperial army's annihilation, the remaining cities and forts in Lower Moesia and Scythia surrender to him.

Soon after, he has another stroke of luck: at Sozopolis, his men capture an embassy sent by Anastasius to ransom his nephew, including the ransom money of eleven hundred pounds of gold.

Hypatius, however, whom Vitalian hates because he had once insulted his wife, will not be released until a year later.
