Greetings all,

On this day we commemorate the Byzantine victory in the Battle of Sirmium on July 8th in 1167 AD:


The battle was fought between Byzantine and Hungarian forces. The Byzantines goaded the Hungarian cavalry into a charge, which was broken. The Byzantine forces then brought in their reserves, capturing the enemy standard and five senior commanders. The Hungarians were forced to sue for peace on Byzantine terms.

-Marcus Cassius Julianus
