Turko-Roman War vs. Persia (627-628)

In the second episode, Emre takes you on a journey to the Caucasus, where, in the middle of winter, a Turkic Khagan from the east and a Greaco-Roman emperor from the west meet in an army camp. They greet each other, exchange gifts, and hold a fest for both of their armies. 

This unlikely event indeed took place, and was the culmination of the ancient Turko-Persian alliance. For the very last time, both Turks and Romans tried to fight alongside on the battlefield. And finally, they succeeded.
