  • Attempts at disengagement seen as provocation as much as non-payment.


  • Prior to Treaty of Sporacius 441-442 – neither party to build fortifications on border. Persians want this clause, even in 5th century.


  • Theodosiopolis fortified by T2 – miraculously recovered from siege – accordance 384? Theodosiopolis as a key stronghold of complex defence system in Roman Armenia – part and parcel of garrison system along Armenian border. Treaty of 442 shows Persian not keen on its rebuilding, breach of treaty. Another aspect of policy enticing Saracens to cross into Byzantine soil – occurrences of 439 – 42. Mediterranean outlook which formed basis of policy.
