Heraclius went to Jerusalem and took away from the city what was considered by the
Christians to be the "true cross".
It was only shortly before Heraclius' death, when he was ill, that his youngest son
became involved in a skirmish in Northern Syria and was subsequently crushed.
The Roman army was comprised of several disintegrating legions, each representative
8
of their own country of origin, for example that of the Byzantines in Northern Syria.
From a historical viewpoint, there were conflicts between Muslims and unbelieving
Arabs, and the Byzantines in Syria and the Copts in Egypt. However, historians fell into
the error of recording and classifying all the legions as being Romans, whereas it was
not the actual Romans themselves who were the participants they were countries under
the Roman protectorate.
