Greetings all,
Today we celebrate Byzantine victory in the battle of Anchialus on June 30th in 763 AD:
The Byzantines were led by Emperor Constantine V against Bulgarian forces under Khan Telets. The
Bulgarians had the high ground but charged into the lowlands to
the Byzantines, most likely thinking they could sweep the field with
momentum. Instead the Byzantine forces held. The battle lasted all day
from sunrise to sunset, and
was a firm Byzantine victory.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
