Sapor II, Is The Grandson Of Narses (293-302), The Unfortunate Adversary Of Diocletian And Galerius.

Sapor II's Reign Is One Of The Longest In Sasanian History, Nearly Seventy Years. He Had To Fight Against The Romans, From Constantine I To Valentinian I, With Varying Success. He Must Recognize Hanniballien As King Of Armenia (335 AD). But After The Disastrous Campaign Of Julien II Where The Latter Finds Death (363 AD), Jovian His Successor Must Sign An Advantageous Truce For The Sassanid. To The East, He Confronts The Kushans Who Become His Vassals. Under His Reign, Persecutions Against Jews And Christians Resumed.

His Coinage Stands At The Center Of Early Sassanian Numismatics, Projecting Royal Authority, Dynastic Legitimacy, And Zoroastrian Piety With A Clarity And Confidence Unmatched In Much Of The Ancient World’s History.
