Was Belisarius's achievement of reconquering much of the Western Roman Empire's lost territory exceptional?

  • No, it was a common occurrence

  • Yes, it had been lost less than a century prior

  • Yes, it had been lost for several centuries

  • No, it was an expected duty of his role

Answer

Belisarius's accomplishment in reclaiming much of the former Roman territory in the West was indeed extraordinary, given the swiftness of its loss less than a century earlier. His victories against formidable foes and his ability to maintain control over these regained lands solidified his status as an exceptionally skilled general and military strategist.
