Battle of Nineveh (627)
The Battle of Nineveh was fought in 627 CE near the ruins of ancient Nineveh in northern Mesopotamia, where the Byzantine emperor Heraclius defeated a Sasanian army. It was the climax of the Byzantine-Sasanian war of 602–628. The defeat led to the overthrow of Khosrow II and a succession crisis that left the Sasanian Empire exhausted on the eve of the Arab conquests.
