[QUOTE="Magnus Maximus, post: 4494539, member: 73473"]Very nice write up! I feel as if the death of Maurice and rise of Phocas is one of those seminal events that people really underestimate. What if Maurice was more in touch with the politics of Constantinople; what next!? Certainly a Byzantine empire at full strength would have been able to hold their own against the Arabs in the 620’s. I also don’t think that the Lombards in Italy would be long for this world had Maurice not lost his head.
