An inheritor of Mithridates the Great's unending war against Rome, Shapur I renewed conflict with the Empire. Shapur's most notable success was the capture of the Roman Emperor Valerian, whom he humiliated and then executed in captivity. Valerian's capture is widely considered a landmark event in the decline of the Roman Empire. A devout follower of Zoroastrianism, Shapur was nonetheless extremely tolerant of all religions, going so far as to provide money for holy men to spread their word. The only ruler in history to enslave and execute a Roman Emperor, use Shapur I of the Persian Empire to show your opponents in the Anachronism arena that nobody is beyond your grasp, and that even the mightiest will fall by your hand. |
