Roman-Persian War of 230-33

Years: 230 - 233

Conflict resumes shortly after the overthrow of Parthian rule and Ardashir I's foundation of the Sassanid Empire.

Ardashir raids Mesopotamia and Syria in 230 and demands the cession of all the former territories of the Achaemenid Empire.

After fruitless negotiations, Alexander Severus sets out against Ardashir in 232 and finally repulses him

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered."

― George Orwell, 1984 (1948)
