Events
-
January: arbitration of Edhroh. Muawiya, relieved of its post of governor of Damas, raises 100.000 men directed by Amr against Ali. The combat hardly started with the Battle of Siffin, on the Euphrate (July 657) is suspended (refusal of the Kharidjites to take part) and two judges proclaim the forfeiture of Ali. The kharidjites (“dissenting”) are opposed to the two parties, considering that the believers alone must choose the caliph according to his merit and in the name of God.

the Constant Basileus II fight against the small islands slavized in Epire to release Thessalonique. It makes many prisoners of which a part is undoubtedly transplanted in Asia Mineure.
