Greetings all,
Today we remember the Byzantine general Petronas on the anniversary of his passing on November 11th in 865 AD:
He was the brother in law of the Emperor Theophilos, and won a
crushing victory in the Battle of Lalakaon which marked a resurgence in
Byzantine power in the East.
After the battle of Lalakaon Petronas was granted a Triumph and made commander in chief of the army.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
