Image description

The Surprise of Laodicea by the Arabs. In 636 BC the Arabs under Abu Obeida advanced northward from Syria, receiving the submission of towns on their route. But the city of Laodicea, which was strongly fortified, resisted and refused to surrender. The Arab forces thereupon made a feint to retire, and, returning soon after dawn, surprised the city. Riding in through an open gate, they overpowered the garrison. Shortly afterwards the Emperor Heraclius retreated across the Bosphorus into Constantinople. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
