The first 20-years of the 7th Century were a bad time for the Romans. The established Emperor Maurice was deposed, and the Sassanian king of kings Khusru II took advantage of the ensuing civil wars. Whole provinces of the Empire in the east were seized and even threaten Constantinople. The winner of the civil war Hereclius ceded territory for time to rebuild Roman armies.
