The Battle of Constantina was fought in 576 CE in central Mesopotamia between the East Roman (Byzantine) forces, led by Philippicus, and the Sasanian Persians under Shah Khosrau I. The engagement was part of the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 572–591. The Battle of Constantina was a Sasanian victory which helped the Sassanids regain control in Mesopotamia, but it was not in the end decisive. The war dragged on until 591, when it ended with a negotiated settlement between Maurice and the Persian Shah Khosrau II (r. 590–628).
