<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2091818, member: 26302"]Yes, interesting ruler. There is a great writeup on him in one of my favorite books, Decline and Fall of the Sassanid Empire. Khusro II did the same thing, turned on a successful Parthian general, and basically destroyed the empire. The muslims didn't have a chance against a strong Sassanid empire, they attacked when they were in disarray after the overthrow of Khusro II and the civil war that developed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
