She returned to the United Kingdom and paid off into ordinary in June 1784 . From 1794 — 95 , she was cut down into a 44 - gun razee fifth - rate frigate and recommissioned in November 1794 under Captain Isaac Schomberg . On 16 March 1798 " Magnanime " was escorting a small convoy when she spied a privateer lurking about , seeking an opportunity to pick off a prize . Captain The Hon . Michael de Courcy set " Magnanime " in chase . Twenty - three hours and 256 miles later , he captured the " Eugénie " at Latitude 42 and Longitude 12 . She was armed with 18 guns , eight of which she had thrown overboard during the chase , and had a crew of 107 men . She was coppered and appeared completely new . The Royal Navy took her into service under the name HMS " Pandour " , but never commissioned her . On 1 April " Magnanime " was again involved in a successful chase . This time one of 180 miles in 18 hours . The captured privateer was the " Audacieux " , of 20 guns , though pierced for 22 , and carrying a crew of 137 men . She too was coppered and new . de Courcy remarked that " Audacieuz " was so fast that if her captain had done a better job of steering she would have escaped .

" Magnanime " passed under the command of Captain William Taylor in spring 1799 , and commanded her on African coast . He took part in the capture of Gorée from the French in April 1801 , while cruising with a squadron under the command of Captain Sir Charles Hamilton .

Hamilton sailed to investigate , taking with him Taylor in " Magnanime " , and Captain Solomon Ferris , in command of the 64 - gun . The frigates were not there , so Hamilton summoned the governor and ordered him to surrender . The governor agreed , and Hamilton and his force took possession on 5 April . " Magnanime " was later in the Leeward Islands , where she remained for the rest of the French Revolutionary Wars , paying off into ordinary again in 1802 . During the Napoleonic Wars she served in a variety of ancillary capacities - as a floating battery , then as a hospital ship . Fate . " Magnanime " was eventually broken up in July 1813 .

Gaius Claudius Nero Gaius Claudius Nero was a Roman consul who fought in the Battle of the Metaurus ( 207 BC ) . He was member of the " gens " Claudia . He is not to be confused with the Roman Emperor Nero . In 207 BC , the thirteenth year of the war , he was elected consul with Marcus Livius Salinator , and with his colleague he led the army that defeated the Carthaginians at the river Metaurus , killing their commander , Hannibal ' s brother Hasdrubal . Prior to this he had held subordinate commands which he had conducted with success . Because Hasdrubal was descending on Italy from the north , two additional legions were put into the field at this time . In addition to this , reinforcements were sent from Spain and Sicily , 15 , 000 in all . The Romans had been aware of Hasdrubal ' s coming for some time . Although generally considered a good commander by historians , Hasdrubal is often found wanting in celerity of action . He had previously defeated the Scipio ' s in Spain in 212 BC and in spite of this , had not left Spain . In addition to this , he left for Italy so late that he was compelled to camp on the Western side of the alps , a critical mistake , as it would give the Romans plenty of time to prepare for their coming , and they did so . He was censor with Marcus Livius Salinator in 204 BC and often quarrelled with him .

Siege of Dorostolon The Battle of Dorostolon was fought in 971 between the Byzantine Empire and forces of Kievan Rus . The Byzantines , led by John I Tzimisces , were victorious . Background . During the course of the Rus ' - Bulgarian war , Svyatoslav I of Kiev overran the eastern part of the First Bulgarian Empire and established his capital at Pereyaslavets on the Danube . Once John I usurped the throne , the Byzantines launched a counteroffensive . After they defeated the united Rus ' - Bulgarian forces in the Battle of Arcadiopolis and recaptured Pereyaslavets , Svyatoslav was forced to flee to the northern fortress of Dorostolon ( Drustur / Dorostorum ) . Siege . Emperor John proceeded to lay siege to Dorostolon , which lasted for sixty five days . His army was reinforced by a fleet of 300 ships equipped with Greek fire . There were several engagements before the walls of the city , which demonstrated to the Byzantines that the Rus ' lacked skill in cavalry warfare . Among the casualties were the Emperor ' s relative , Ioannes Kourkouas ( whose severed head was displayed by the Rus from one of the towers ) and the second - in - command in Svyatoslav ' s army , a certain Ikmor ( who was killed by Anemas , a son of the Cretan emir , in revenge for Ikmor ' s assassination of his father during the Byzantine siege of Crete ) . The Rus ' and their Bulgarian allies were reduced to extremities by famine . In order to appease their gods , they drowned chickens in the Danube , but the sacrifices failed to improve their position . As their hardships became intense , 2 , 000 Rus ' warriors ( including some women ) sallied out at night , defeated a Byzantine force and went in search of supplies to the Danube ; they later rejoined the besieged . The Rus ' felt they could not break the siege and agreed to sign a peace treaty with the Byzantine Empire , whereby they renounced their interests towards the Bulgarian lands and the city of Chersonesos in Crimea . Svyatoslav bitterly remarked that all his allies ( Magyars , Pechenegs ) betrayed him during this decisive moment . He was allowed to evacuate his army to Berezan Island , while the Byzantines entered Dorostolon and renamed it Theodoropolis , after the reigning empress Theodora . Sources . The siege is described in detail by John Skylitzes and Leo the Deacon , although some of their assertions ( e . g . , Sveneld ' s death during the siege ) appear to be apocryphal . Characteristically , Leo the Deacon attributes the victory to Saint Theodore Stratelates , who purportedly led the Byzantine army under the walls of Dorostolon .

French cruiser Algérie The Algérie was a French heavy cruiser that served during the early years of World War II . She was built in response to the Italian " Zara " class cruisers , incorporating better armour than previous French cruisers . One of the last of the so - called " Treaty Cruisers , " she was considered one of the best designs commissioned by any of the naval powers .

In April , " Algérie " returned to the Mediterranean and when Italy declared war on France , she helped shell Genoa in June . Her last mission before the French surrender was as a convoy escort . After the French defeat in 1940 , " Algérie " remained with the Vichy fleet based at Toulon . Her only mission for the Vichy navy was to escort the battleship " Provence " back to Toulon , as the battleship had been summarily repaired after the damages received during the British attack on Mers - el - Kébir in 1940 . In 1941 , her secondary and anti - aircraft weaponry was strengthened and in 1942 , she was fitted with the early French - built radar . She was still there when the Germans invaded the so - called " Free Zone " on the 27 November 1942 . She was scuttled in the Scuttling of the French fleet in Toulon . Demolition charges were set on the ship . The Germans tried to persuade her crew that scuttling was not permitted by Armistice provisions ; her captain requested the Germans to wait until his superior could advise , as the fuses were lit . When Admiral Lacroix finally arrived , he ordered the ship evacuated ; as the Germans were preparing to board , he told them that the cruiser was about to explode . She was blown up and burnt for 20 days . The Italians raised her in sections on 18 March 1943 . The remains were bombed and sunk again on 7 March 1944 , and were finally raised and broken up for scrap in 1949 .

Battle of Ajnadayn The Battle of Ajnadayn ( ) , fought on July 30 , 634 , in an unknown location close to Beit Guvrin in present day Israel ; it was the first major pitched battle between the Byzantine ( Roman ) Empire and the army of the Arabic Rashidun Caliphate . The result of the battle was a decisive Muslim victory . The details of this battle are mostly known through Muslim sources , such as 9th century historian Al - Waqidi . Background . According to David Nicolle , the Rashidun army left the capital Medina probably in the autumn of 633 , but possibly at the beginning of 634 . They first engaged and defeated the Byzantines at Dathin on February 4 ; after that Emperor Heraclius , then stationed in Emesa ( now Homs , Syria ) , had reinforcements sent south to protect Caesarea Maritima . As a possible reaction commander Khalid ibn al - Walid was ordered to interrupt operations against the Sassanian Empire and reach Syria , which brought him to engage and defeat the Byzantine - allied Ghassanids by April 24 , permitting him to enter almost unopposed in Bosra . At this point Khalid converged with several armies led by generals such as Abu Ubaydah ibn al - Jarrah , Yazid ibn Abu Sufyan , Amr ibn al - A ' as and Shurahbil Ibn Hasanah . Khalid united with Amr ' s forces in a place known traditionally as Adjnadayn . No geographer has attested such a place , which probably originates from a conflation of the Arab plural " adjinad " ( i . e . " armies " ) . All the same due to Arab sources the location of the battlefield has been found to have taken place in the wadi l ' Samt at 9 km from modern Beit Guvrin , Israel . The battle . Regarding the primary sources , first must be noticed the absence of any of Byzantine provenience ; possibly , according to Walter Kaegi , because what Byzantine material we have may conflate the battle with other Byzantine defeats such as Dathin and Yarmouk . The earliest source appears to be an entry in the Frankish " Chronicle of Fredegar " compiled in 658 - 660 , unless this is as possible an interpolation . Regarding the strength of the confronting armies H . A . R . Gibb in the " Encyclopaedia of Islam " argues that at best both forces were made of 10 , 000 men and that Muslim sources are " highly exaggerated " . Concerning the size of the Byzantine army , Nicolle also accepts this estimate as he puts it at 9 , 000 - 10 , 000 but instead considers the Rashidun forces to have been 15 , 000 - 18 , 000 , a number placed at 20 , 000 by David Morray in the " The Oxford Companion to Military History " .
