I was reading Glubb's The Great Arab Conquests and came across this:
I didn't see an Abbyssian army in the list. Which armies would folks suggest to recreate a possible battle from this campaign? Thanks!Abyssinia had long thrown envious eyes on Arabia. As early as the fourth century A.D., we hear of her trying to extend her influence there and main taining a fleet which attempted to control the Straits of Bab el Mandeb. Encouraged now by Byzantium, and assisted by 600 Byzantine vessels as transports, the Abyssinians invaded South Arabia in A.D. 522, dethroned Dhu Nuwas and established an Abyssinian governor in control.
