Chanaranges (Italy)
Chanaranges was a Byzantine military officer, active in the late reign of Justinian I (r. 527–565). He was an Armenian and his name is occasionally rendered as Charanges . He is only known for his activities in the Gothic War, in particular the Battle of the Volturnus in 554. The main source about him is Agathias. The name probably derives from Kanarang, a military title of the Sassanid Empire. He should probably not be confused with his contemporary, the Chanaranges who took part in the conspiracy of Artabanes.
