PugJesus(Vaguely) Horse-shaped Sassanid vase, Iran, 2nd-6th century AD
Liam O'Mara IV, PhD#JulianTheApostate, a fascinating #RomanEmperor with a brief reign, left #Antioch on #ThisDayInHistory in 363 to attack the #Sassanid #PersianEmpire. In a hasty retreat Julian fought without armour and was probably killed by a #Christian soldier for his repudiation of the faith.
During the Last Great War between Rome & Persia, #Sassanid ruler #KhosrowII, who had conquered much Roman land, was deposed by his son Sheroe on #ThisDayInHistory in 628. That son then executed his father and brothers, gave back Byzantine lands for peace, & triggered a civil war.

☫🇮🇷🇮🇶🇸🇾🇾🇪🇰🇵🇻🇪🇨🇺The #Sassanid Old Bridge of Dezful was built in 263 AD by some of the 70,000 Roman troops who were taken prisoner along with Emperor Valerian after his defeat by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa. Amazingly, the bridge is still in use today!
