It is amazing that you visit a Roman city in the heart of Persia. Sassanians had so many wars against Romans and they could always defeat them. They ruled for more than 4 centuries from the 2th to the 6<sup>th <\/sup>centuries. Shapur was the second also the most powerful emperor of this dynasty who developed Iran in different aspects of science and technology. He was a brave man who was praised by both Iranians and Romans as a man of war, politicts and religion. Bishapur is Roman name which means for the glory of Shapur. There you could visit the biggest dome all around the world which unfortunately does not exist anymore. This city is a symbol of reign of Persians over the whole world at that time and is a great combination of glorious Roman-Persian architecture. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img
