Areobindus (died 546)

Areobindus (died 546) was an official and military commander of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

[1] Areobindus was sent to Africa by Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) following the crisis which had erupted during Sergius's command.

[2] An inexperienced military commander, Areobindus proved unable to deal with the issue.

[2] After the Battle of Thacia, Justinian recalled Sergius and made Areobindus "overall commander" but the mutiny had already spread through the ranks.

[2] In 546, Areobindus was killed in Carthage by the rebel Guntarith (Guntharis), the dux of Numidia.
