            Bayan was ruler of the Avars when they sent an embassy to Constantinople for the first time in 561. Various sources, for instance Joh. Eph., EH 6.24, report that they became accustomed to receiving subsidies from the Roman Empire. Justin's unwillingness to meet Bayan's demands eventually led to war in the late 560s.
