Conon was a Byzantine military commander during the Gothic War of 535 to 554 under Emperor Justinian I. In 537, he was sent with reinforcements to assist general Belisarius in the defense of Rome. Later, his poor defense of Ancon was criticized by contemporary historian Procopius. He subsequently commanded the garrison of Naples during a Gothic siege in 542–543, eventually surrendering the city under negotiated terms after famine made resistance untenable.
