The Battle of Issus, also known as the 'Third Battle of Issus', was the battle fought between the Eastern Roman Emperor (or 'Byzantine Emperor') Heraclius and the Sassanid Empire at the strategic ground near the small riverine town of Issus below the difficult inland mountains in 622, now in the Turkish Province of Hatay. Emperor Heraclius transported his army through the Aegean sea and unexpectedly defeated the Persian army in the decisive battle of Issus.
