Belisarius obvious reasons. he was under financed out manned and still took down the vandals , conquered southern Spain and had Italy well in hand when court intrigue took him down. Plus he was so noble. Even when he could of possibly struck Justinian down when he was recalled and put on trial he didn't, instead he came out of retirement later and again saved the empire. You could argue Heraclius as well. No roman General had been able to solve the Persian question. he destroyed Persia as a power it's just lost in the rise of Islam. plus once again he was outnumbered and out gunned and prevailed by doing the unexpected.
