Phokas had been killed in 989 and his followers had surrendered, and Basil II had reached an agreement with Skleros the following year.
The Greeks focus their attention on Bulgaria, counterattacking in 991.
Although Roman is acknowledged as the official Bulgarian ruler, most of the military matters are left in the hands of Samuil, who is the youngest brother of the Comitopuli dynasty, and Roman devotes to the church deeds similar to his father Peter in his end of life.
During one of his invasions of Bulgaria, the Emperor Basil II succeeds in capturing Roman in 991.
The Bulgarian army is defeated; Samuel manages to escape.
