This would be the last time the Byzantines and Persians would war - TopicsExpress



          

This would be the last time the Byzantines and Persians would war with each other. After so many years of war, two crusades, and countless casualties, neither side gained anything. The borders went back as they were in the Roman and Parthian times, both sides were weakened, and neither had the power to defend when the time presented itself. Heraclius was so happy with his victory that he did not observe that on the very day he placed the True Cross in its shrine, that the Arabs had attacked a Byzantine outpost. The impoverished Byzantine provinces could not defend themselves, and were overrun quickly. The weak Persian kings that followed could not stop the Arab invasions, and Persia was overrun.
