Worst ERE/Byzantine defeat Pre 1453
Here’s my list of some of the Eastern Roman Empire’s and the Byzantine Empire’s worst military defeats at the hands of non Romans. Naval battles not included. If there are any I’m missing list in comments, thanks. There is no wiki article for the Battle of Chersonesus, but it is in a number of books i have. It was during Huns campaign against Eastern Rome 441-44. Attila trapped a fairly large Eastern Roman force under the command of three Germanic generals, named Aspar, Areobindus and Arnegisclus, in the Chersonesus valley and slaughtered them. This then lead to the peace of Anatolius between the Huns and Eastern Romans on April 27th 443.
