The research focuses on the Byzantine-Persian conflict in the Red Sea from the reign of Justin I until the end of Justin II (518-578 CE). It explores the significance of the Red Sea as a front for the Byzantine-Persian conflict during the 6th century. The study examines the role of religion in the power struggle between Byzantium and Persia, as well as the political and commercial interests of Christianity and Judaism in the region. The research also highlights the involvement of Arab coastal regions and the Arabian Peninsula as mediators and participants in the diplomatic and trade agreements between the two empires. Furthermore, it discusses the military conflicts that occurred between the Himyarites and the Abyssinians, with support from the Persians and Byzantines. The research concludes by emphasizing the Persian influence over the Red Sea in the 7th century.
