Dara 530 AD: The Roman Battlefield Trap That Stopped Persia Cold

In late June, five hundred and thirty AD, according to the Byzantine historian Procopius, a twenty-five-year-old commander named Belisarius ordered his men to dig trenches. Not straight lines. Not simple barriers. A geometric trap of unprecedented complexity—a recessed center flanked by forward-projecting wings that would turn mathematics itself into a weapon. Before him stood fifty thousand Persian warriors, double his numbers. Behind him, the fortress city of Dara and the last hope of Rome's eastern frontier.
