Byzantine-Muslim War of 739-40

Annual Arab raiding expeditions (ṣawā'if) against Byzantine Anatolia resume.

Stiffening Byzantine resistance leads to the victory at Akroinon at 740.

“History is important. If you don't know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.”

—Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral ... (2004)
