guy Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) The Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in AD 363 was a pivotal battle in the Arab conquest of the Sasanian Empire. This defeat of the Sasanians led to the capture of Ctesiphon, the Sasanian capital, the next year. The last Persian emperor was killed a few years later in 651. Using satellite photography, the site of this important battle has been found in modern-day Iraq. Below is a previous thread about a Byzantine coin hoard during a contemporaneous Arab-Byzantine conflict. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/11/science/al-qadisiyyah-site-satellite-images-scli-intl/index.html https://archaeology.org/news/2024/11/13/ancient-battlefield-identified-in-iraq/ Edited 2 hours ago by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
