War between the Roman Empire and Sassanid…

502 CE

War between the Roman Empire and Sassanid Persia erupts in 502, when Anastasius refuses to pay a share for the defense of the Caucasian Gates, a pass through which nomadic tribes often raid Persia and Constantinople.

Kavadh besieges the fortress-city of Amida (modern Turkey).
