Years: 502 - 502
The nomadic Hephthalites, or White Huns, help Sassanid ruler Kavadh regain the Persian throne from his usurping brother in exchange for a tribute.
The situation is exacerbated by recent changes in the flow of the Tigris in lower Mesopotamia, sparking famines and flood.
Kavadh, short on funds, requests financial assistance from Eastern Roman emperor Anastasius, who refuses and begins to interfere in the affairs of Persian Armenia.
Kavadh invades Eastern Roman Armenia in 502 and takes Theodosiopolis, the province’s major city.
