In the year 602 AD, the capable emperor Maurice faced a military rebellion led by a man named Phocas. The latter killed his sovereign and took power. The murder of the legitimate emperor Maurice provided Sassanian shah Khosrow II with a convenient casus belli to invade Roman territory. This war would set the entire near east ablaze and mark the end of Antiquity. The crucial decades that followed would be defined by the deeds of one man above all, Heraclius.
