Development and learning have flourished during Khosrau’s forty-eight-year reign and Persian literature has enjoyed a Golden Age.

Khosrau seems about to make a settlement on Constantinople's terms when he dies in the early spring of 579.

His eldest son and successor kills his brothers, according to the oriental fashion, and takes the throne as Hormizd IV.

He rejects Tiberius's proposals, however, refusing to surrender any of the territories conquered by his father, and hostilities resume.
