Years: 618 - 618
The Avars send envoys to Constantinople for an meeting with Heraclius, who in an effort to placate the Avars, meets them at Thracian Heraclea, outside the long walls protecting the capital, in 617 or 619.
They seek to capture him, and he, warned of an ambush, gallops madly back to Constantinople, the Avars in hot pursuit.
Angry at the failure to capture the emperor, the Avars plunder Thrace and return to the Danube River carrying off two hundred and seventy thousand people.
