Years: 528 - 528
An Imperial general named Justin, mentioned in 528 as "stratelates of Moesia", probably holds the title of dux Moesiae Secundae and the rank of magister militum.
He joins forces with Baduarius, dux of Scythia Minor, in battle against a force of foreign invaders of Scythia and Moesia, who John Malalas identifies as "Huns", while Theophanes the Confessor identifies them as Bulgars.
Justin is killed in this battle and is succeeded in his post by Constantiolus.
The invaders next enter Thrace.
