Page "Verina" Paragraph 30

The revolt failed to gain sufficient support and the rebels had to withdraw from Antioch back to Papyrius.

Zeno sent an army including both Romans and Ostrogoths under John the Scythian which managed to defeat them.

The fort was besieged from 484 to 488.

Verina died early in the siege Whether her death was violent or not is uncertain.

According to Malalas, when the siege ended the corpse of Verina was recovered and sent to Ariadne for burial.
