Chanaranges (Greek: Χαναράγγης) 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 (Greek: Χαράγγης). 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.[1] The name probably derives from Kanārang, 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.[2]
