Shāpūr II: References & Edit History

The Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus During the Reigns of the Emperors Constantius, Julian, Jovianus, Valentinian, and Valens, trans. by C.D. Yonge (1902), is a detailed, often fascinating, account of Rome’s wars against major enemies. Sir Percy Sykes, A History of Persia, vol. 1 (1915, 3rd ed. reprinted 1958), is a major work, although the facts are not always documented and parts are now outdated (contains an extensive bibliography).
