January 718: The Duchy of Spoleto occupied Narni.
February 718: The Duchy of Benevento took possession of Cuma.
January 719: The Byzantine duke of Naples, John I, reconquered Cumae.
January 727: Later Liutprand used the unrest caused by the iconoclastic policy of the Byzantine emperor Leo III to embark on a new campaign. Byzantium also increased the tax burden on the Exarchate of Italy. In response, riots against the Byzantine Empire flared up in several cities. Liutprand, taking advantage of the fiery climate, crossed the Po river and invaded the Exarchate, occupying Bologna and threatening Ravenna.
January 729: Lombard conquest of Bologna, Osimo, Ancona, many cities of the Emilia region and Classis.
