The Battle of Sebastopolis was fought at Sebastopolis (mostly identified with Sebaste in Cilicia, but also with modern Sulusaray) in 692 between the Byzantine Empire and Umayyads. The Byzantines were led by Leontios and included a "special army" of 30,000 Slavs under their leader Neboulos. The Byzantine loss can be attributed to the defection of upwards of 20,000 Slavs thus ensuring a Byzantine defeat. One source states that the Emperor Justinian II massacred the remaining Slavs, including women and children, at the Gulf of Nicomedia, yet another source states this is not a reliable account.
