The Battle of Sebastopolis was fought near the eastern shores of the Black Sea in 692 between the Byzantine Empire and Umayyads. The Byzantines were led by Leontios, and included a "special army" of 30,000 Slavs (primarily Serbs) under their leader Neboulos. The Byzantine loss can be attributed to the defection of upwards of 20,000 Serbs/Slavs due to the harsh treatment under Justinian II, thus ensuring a Byzantine defeat. Furthermore, many of the rebellious Serbs left their lands in Bithynia to fight the Byzantine Emperor as retribution for the harsh treatment he had given his Serbian subjects. In the aftermath of the battle the Emperor reportedly rounded up every Serbian family in Bithynia and had them killed. Furious at the loss of the army, the Emperor Justinian also had the commander Leontios imprisoned for two years.
