Peroz is said to have favored Nestorianism and persecuted Chalcedonians.

Historians of the period record the occurrence of a seven-year famine that devastated the crops and ruined the country.

Sources say that the wells became dry and that there was not a trickle of water either in the Tigris or the Euphrates.

Eventually the crops failed and thousands perished.

Peroz I showed firm character in the face of such adversity and great wisdom in dealing with the catastrophe.

As a result of his wisdom and benevolence, Persia has gradually recovered from the famine.
