Years: 922 - 922
A large Bulgarian army under the Kavhan Theodore Sigritsa marches swiftly through the Strandzha Mountains in 922 to reach the outskirts of Constantinople.
Romanos sends troops under the Domestic of the Schools Pothos Argyros and the admiral Alexios Mosele to face the Bulgarians.
The battle takes place at Pegae.
The initial Bulgarian blow is irresistible, and the imperial commanders are the first to flee, with Mosele drowning in a desperate attempt to reach a ship.
Most of the defending soldiers and sailors are killed, drowned, or captured.
After the battle, the Bulgarians burn the palaces in Pegae, loot the Golden Horn, and triumphantly return to Preslav.
