Odaenathus' Sasanian Campaign

Odaenathus' Sasanian Campaign

The Sasanian Empire at the time of Shapur I (towards the end of 260).
Location
Kingdom of Palmyra and Mesopotamia

The Sasanian campaign of Odaenathus took place during the evacuation of the Sasanian forces from devastated Roman territories. Its importance is disputed: while some sources say it was a total defeat for the Persian forces during their withdrawal from Roman territories, others say it was a skirmish or a minor incident turned by Roman historians and their modern successors into repeated routings of Shapur by an ally of Rome.
