Dark Ages AD 685 – Age of Justinian II – Exarchate’s Expansion
The late 7th century Mediterranean is a world in flux. The Byzantine Empire, once the uncontested power of the Eastern Mediterranean, faces mounting pressure on multiple fronts. Semi-autonomous Exarchates in Africa and Italy struggle to defend imperial holdings from external threats and internal unrest. To the south and east, the Islamic Caliphate emerges as a formidable military and political force, waging wars of expansion that seize Byzantine territories and test the resilience of the Empire. Amidst this turbulence, Emperor Justinian II ascends to the throne in AD 685, determined to reclaim lost lands and restore the authority of Constantinople.
