Crazy that the Roman Empire almost collapsed during this time.
@4:13 House cats, Family, God and Church/Bible. Are great Therapists and Counselors. I recommend them, they have be great for me. And I've been happier with them.
In trying to make history according to Persian propaganda, you are making simple mistakes.
When you say "Caesaria" it is not the one in Palestine, but the one in Cappodocia.
Very bad video that misleads people.
The result at last was in Odenathus's campaign to the walls of Ctesiphon, which nullified all these declared successes of Shapur.
It is not good to go unilaterally to take Sasanian propaganda (heralded in metaphors) as totally true, it is not very professional. 🙂
As a Persian , I owe you a big load of thanks for making this video, history of Iran specially before Islam, is really underrated thank you very much ❤️😙
