The Battle of Niniveh on 12 December 627

On 1 December 627 Heraclius reached the Great Zab River. He crossed it by a ford and encamped near Niniveh. Rhazates crossed the river by another ford three miles downstream. Heraclius then dispatched Baanes/Vaanes/Bahan/Vahan, the Armenian commander, with a small force of picked soldiers to collect prisoners for interrogation. Vahan faced a bandon of Persians (200–400 men), killed their comes, and brought back his head and golden sword. He and his men killed many more and brought back twenty-six captives, one of whom was a spatharios of Rhazates. From him the Romans learnt that Chosroes had ordered Rhazates to engage the Romans and had sent him 3,000 additional reinforcements.
