Khosrow then focused on consolidating his power, executing conspirators, including his uncle Bawi.

He lost his throne, then recovered it with the help of the Byzantine emperor Maurice, and, a decade later, went on to emulate the feats of the Achaemenids, conquering the rich Roman provinces of the Middle East; much of his reign was spent in wars with the Byzantine Empire and struggling against usurpers such as Bahram Chobin and Vistahm. After the Byzantines killed Maurice, Khosrow II began a war in 602 against the Byzantines. Khosrow II's forc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
