The Roman Emperor, Heraclius accepted Muhammad (S.A.W) as the final messenger of God. You have to understand how intelligent this man was, he was Christian and well studied in Christianity. The true Christian Scriptures, unlike the falsified ones of today, proclaim the Jesus said there will be another prophet after him. That prophet was Muhammad (S.A.W), the seal of the Prophets. Emperor Heraclius believed that Muhammad was the final Prophet but DID express his surprise that he had come from the Arabs as all previous Messengers were from the Hebrews (Jews). Never the less, he accepted Muhammad. The problem is that he knew the people of his empire would reject Muhammad and there would be a revolt. He did however, try to persuade his people to follow Islam. They immediately responded aggressively and tried to break down the doors to his parliamentary building. Seeing this, Heraclius said, "I was only testing your belief in Chrisitianity" It is believed that Heraclius kept his faith a secret. God knows best :) Salaam.

In 619 AD, significant events included the death of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius' father, also named Heraclius, who had been a co-emperor and played a crucial role in the Byzantine Empire's military campaigns against the Persians. Additionally, this period marked the early years of the rise of Islam, as Muhammad's message began to spread across the Arabian Peninsula. The broader geopolitical landscape was characterized by ongoing conflicts between the Byzantine and Sassanian Empires, which would later influence the emergence of Islamic power in the region.
According to Islamic sources, Muhammad sent an "invitation" to King Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire in 628 C.E.The only "invitations" we have in the historical record are those to the King Yazdagerd III of Persia and King Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire performed by Caliph Abu Bakr a year after Muhammad died, in 634 C.E.In both cases, I put "invitation" in quotes since it was a demand letter saying that these leaders would need to convert to Islam, pay immense tribute to the Muslims, or face conquest.
Emperor Heraclius's army lost the Battle of Yarmouk in 636 primarily due to several factors, including poor strategic planning and internal divisions among the Byzantine forces. The Muslim army, led by Khalid ibn al-Walid, was highly motivated, well-coordinated, and utilized effective tactics, such as rapid maneuvers and flanking attacks. Additionally, the Byzantines were outnumbered and struggled with logistical issues, which further weakened their position in the face of the determined Muslim forces. Ultimately, the defeat at Yarmouk marked a significant turning point in the Muslim conquest of the Levant.
The theme of Thrace was established in the early 7th century in the Byzantine Empire, as part of the administrative reorganization of the empire under the Emperor Heraclius. It was one of the original themes, or military provinces, that helped strengthen and defend the empire's borders.
