By: Mir M.Hosseini According to documents found in 1453, during
a meeting in Tisfun palace in August, 28, 378, Iranian generals
give the news to Shapour about Roman emperor's recent death
during a war and suggested that Shapour use this occasion to
drive Romans back to the other side of Danube while they are
weak and suffer from power struggle. Shapour's response was
negative; arguing that having the power and using the
opportunity is not the right reason to start a war. He said that
the outcomes of war can not be foreseen and war must be the last
solution unless the enemy has invaded our soil. He added that
our prophet Zoroaster has rejected unjustified wars. Shapour
died one year later after 70 years of reign.
