Siege of Nisibis (338)
The siege of Nisibis of 338 constituted the initial phase of Perso-Roman wars of 337–361. Shapur besieged Nisibis, which was then regarded as the key to Mesopotamia and, after sixty days, no closer to taking Nisibis and with a plague hampering his army, he lifted the siege and returned to Persia.
