Nice one!

I don't have Shapur II yet, but I do have his backwoods cousin:

Awesome pick up Ron. That King gave the Romans a lot of worries and stress e.g. Constantine I, Constantius II, Julian II and Valens too.

Very nice pick-up Ron. Wow, he ruled for 70 years--that is unusual.

Thanks all. The Sasanian's were a thorn in the Roman's side.
