There were several problems of the byzantine defence system concerning byzantine Syria in the early 7th century. They are largely divided in two parts. The one is military defence system, the other is psychological defence system. Military defence system was faced with problems in the decrease of number of army, no establishment of thema in Syria, the absence of positiveness of emperor to be at war, the tactical failure to be at war, the mental condition of soldiers and a little reinforcement of fortification. Psychological defence system was faced with problems in the oppressive measure of byzantine government against Monophysites and Jews who had a lack of confidence to policy of government, and a psychological unrest on the heavy tax which byzantine government imposed on local economy which was decreasing in the early 7th century in the area of Syria. So military defence system and psychological defence system, concerning byzantine Syria in the early 7th century, which were caused by the war between Byzantium and Persia mean that the wrong policy of byzantine government on local area caused troubles which made finally to turn syrian people to Arab.
