Years: 1179 - 1179
Manuel has continued to meet the Seljuqs in smaller battles with some success, and concludes a probably advantageous peace with Kilij Arslan in 1179.
However, like Manzikert, Myriokephalon is a pivotal event and following it the balance between the two powers in Anatolia had gradually begun to shift, for Manuel will never again launch a strategically offensive campaign against the Turks and remains on the defensive.
