🚩 The Battle of Achelous was one of the last major efforts of the fading Byzantine Empire to re-expand their territory, and influence, into southeastern Europe. Instead, it was an unmitigated military disaster for the Byzantines, essentially leaving their entire northern frontier exposed to conquest by Bulgarian armies from Western Asia. Moreover, the battle effectively marked the end of Byzantium as a great power, though the rump state continued to hang on for five more centuries.

  8. It's looks like that Bulgarians have always been a Thorne in the back of Eastern orthodox world (Arabs …Turks and many and yet Byzantine had to give much resources to fight Bulgarians and even after the victory of first Balkan war they ruined that with second Balkan war )
