The Battle of Lalakaon or Battle of Po(r)son was fought in 863 between the Byzantine Empire and an invading Arab army in Paphlagonia. The Byzantine army was led by emperor Michael III's uncle, Petronas the Patrician, although Arab sources also mention the presence of Michael himself, while the Arabs were led by the emir of Melitene, Omar al-Aqta. Omar al-Aqta was able to brush off the initial Byzantine resistance against his invasion and reach the shores of the Black Sea.

- The Battle of Lalakaon or Battle of Po(r)son was fought in 863 between the Byzantine Empire and an invading Arab army in Paphlagonia. The Byzantine army was led by emperor Michael III's uncle, Petronas the Patrician, although Arab sources also mention the presence of Michael himself, while the Arabs were led by the emir of Melitene, Omar al-Aqta. Omar al-Aqta was able to brush off the initial Byzantine resistance against his invasion and reach the shores of the Black Sea. The Byzantines however mobilized their forces, and the Arab army was encircled near the river Lalakaon. The subsequent battle ended in a complete Byzantine victory and the death of the emir on the field, and was followed by a successful Byzantine counter-offensive across the border. The Byzantine victories proved decisive: the main threats to the Byzantine borderlands were eliminated, and the era of Byzantine ascendancy in the East, which would culminate in the great conquests of the 10th century, had begun. The Byzantine success had another corollary: deliverance from the constant Arab pressure of the eastern frontier allowed the Byzantine government to concentrate on affairs in Europe, and, in particular, neighboring Bulgaria. The Bulgarians were pressured into accepting the Byzantine form of Christianity, thus ensuring that this nation would come within the Byzantine cultural sphere.
- La battaglia di Lalakaon fu combattuta nel 863, i combattenti furono i bizantini e gli arabi. I bizantini, forti di circa 50.000 uomini, vinsero questa battaglia sconfiggendo gli arabi, che secondo le antiche fonti avevano 40.000 guerrieri ma secondo le stime di alcuni storici moderni non erano più di 20.000.
