Years: 328 - 339
Sassanid king Shapur II, probably provoked by religious differences, breaks the peace concluded in 297 between Narseh (293–302) and Emperor Diocletian (284–305), which had been observed for forty years.
This is the beginning of two long drawn-out wars (337–350 and 358-363), which are inadequately recorded.
After crushing a rebellion in the South, Shapur invades Roman Mesopotamia and recaptures Armenia.
