The siege of Urviventus, [1] or siege of Urbs Vetus, [2] took place during Justinian I's Gothic War. [1] The Byzantine commander Belisarius dispatched a strong force to take Urviventus, himself marching on Urbinus. [1] One thousand Goths [3] under Albilas had been sent to defend the city. [1] Belisarius, after capturing Urbinus, reinforced the besieging army. [1] He assessed the situation, deciding the town could not be taken by storm. [4] When the town ran out of supplies the defenders surrendered. [1] [2]
