laid, on the eastern bank of the Tigris, the foundations of 762. Bagdad, the royal seat of his posterity for five hundred years.
The arms of Almansor were successful against the nomadcs of Toorkistan; but his expedition against the Ommiyade khalif of Spain encountered only disgrace and defeat. ' The Greeks had taken advantage of the civil dissensions of the Moslems to recover a portion of their dominions. Mo- hadi, the successor of Almansor, retaliated during the reign of Irene and her son. Har...oon, his second son, at the head of 95,000 Persians and Arabs, invaded Lesser Asia ; and from tlie heights of Scutari, within view of the imperial city, dic- tated the terms of an ignominious peace.
781. Five years after this war, Haroon-er-Rasheed, or the Just^ ascended the throne of his flither and his elder brother. Du- ring a reign of twenty-three years, this active prince eight times invaded the Grecian territories. In vain the emperor Nicephorus sent haughty defiances and denials of tribute ; in vain he assembled large armies : his troops fled in dismay before the disciplined bands of the commander of the faithful ; and the Byzantine gold was annually poured into the treasury of Bagdad.
