The battle of Scardon was fought during the Gothic War of Justinian I,[1] near Skradin. In it a Roman force under Constantinianus defeated an Ostrogothic force under Uligisalus.[1] After Asinarius approached with a combined Suevi-Gothic army Constantinianus retreated to Salona to which the Goths laid siege.[1]
