The Battle of Yarmouk, or Yarmuk (636 AD), is undoubtedly one of the most significant events in history. At the onset of the battle, the Roman Empire was the major power in the Near East, a clear victor in a decades-long war with its ancient nemesis Persia. However, after the fateful Battle of Yarmouk, the Romans were the ones on retreat. In the course of six days, Heraclius’ triumph turned to tragedy.
The Romans, also known as the Byzantines, managed to avoid the fate of the Sassanids. However, in the following years and decades, the Roman Empire lost all of its Eastern provinces, including Syria and Egypt, to the unstoppable armies of Islam. Thus, the turning point at Yarmouk opened the way for the Arabic expansion, completely reshaping the geopolitical and religious map of Eurasia, and changing the course of history for good.
