The Battle of Edessa took place between the armies of the Roman Empire under the command of Emperor Valerian and Sasanian forces under Shahanshah (King of the Kings) Shapur I in 260. The Roman army was defeated and captured in its entirety by the Iranian forces; for the first time, a Roman emperor was taken prisoner. As such, the battle is generally viewed as one of the worst disasters in military history.

Am i the only one who is enjoying this as a 2-hour Netflix film?
Entire 600 years of persian - roman war should be a HBO series not Netflix.
honestly bro netflizx is bad
This is better than the historical garbage Netflix puts out. 👍
@@michaelg.1786Wokeflix will give us Black South American Parthians and Sub-saharan Chinese Romans 🤦♂️
This should be a series so you don’t have to worry about cramming everything in
I like how the Roman Legionaries portrayed here have a mixture of classic scutums and newer round shields. It feels like Imperial Rome transitioning to the Late Roman Empire.
Yes, it was that time.
Crisis of the third century boiiii
Lack of ranged units and underestimated of how much capable those mounted horse archers and mighty Sevaran Knights (Cataphracts) contributed to Emperor Valerian's defeated
Plus he was lured into plains that were perfect for the Sassanid battle tactics
And many others
I was also
amazed that in every lost war Roman or Byzantines had very few ranged unit. They were highly dependent on heavy infantry and their shields.
as persian i am really proud that we had such a powerfull and rich history , that we were considered rivals for the romans . but never the less if the romans and greeks were not our enemies we couldnt develop such an army and expand as much as we did . i have a great respect for romans and greeks :)
Don't forget how many Greeks settled in the lands of the Persians after Alexander the Great and the coins struct by the Arsacids with the term "Philellenas" in order to be liked by the Greek populations of Parthia and beyond. I totally respect the Persians. The Romans were mostly Greek anyway as Rome was just one city.
@@user-vg2ss1se7e i know and we cant forget that greeks worked in achaemenid army for many years as mercenaries. yes the persians and greeks have a really conected history. i respect both greeks and romans as they were the reseaon for us to develop and advance as well
@@user-vg2ss1se7e the Hellenistic period itself was an exchanged period of Persian and Greek culture, as for the Persians, they took many influences from Greek architecture, art and philosophy, and for the Greeks, they took many influences from Persian culture, fashion, customs, and administrative system method.
@@user-vg2ss1se7e And yes, the Parthians were interested in Greek culture, but they were also loyal to their own Iranian culture as well. But the most important point is that they were Iranian ppl and they were the ones who defeated the Seleucids. And the Parthian interest in Greek culture is not a bad thing, just as Alexander's interest in Iranian culture should not be a bad thing for you!!!
📚📚the book of : "the Persians seen by the Greeks under the direction of Dominique lanfant", french version : "Les Perses vus par les Grecs"👇🏻👇🏻
Chapter 14-8. People around Alexander reacted to the acceptance of Iranian customs. Cleitus and Flattery: One evening of drinking, Cleitus decries the flatterers' complacency towards Alexander and allows himself to belittle his military prowess. Alexander, mad with anger, kills him. Callisthenes' opposition to proskynesis: Alexander wants the Iranian custom of proskynesis (movement of homage) to be adopted for him. Convinced that his father is Amon and not Philip, he considers himself worthy of this divine distinction. If some of the Greeks around him granted it out of flattery, Callisthenes, a former student of Aristotle, considered it a disgrace and, like most Macedonians, refused it.
Alexander has Bessus's nose and ears cut off, then orders his execution in Ecbatana before the assembly of the Medes and Persians. For the first time, Arrian passes a critical judgment on Alexander, citing his adoption of barbaric customs-indulgence in luxury, abandonment of Macedonian attire for Median clothing and the "Persian tiara of the conquered," despotic authority, and a lack of self-control, especially in regards to alcohol. Arrian doesn't specify when Alexander started adopting Persian customs but, like other authors, sees the halt in Hyrcania as a turning point, where Alexander feels he has successfully achieved his goal and firmly holds the empire.
- ch. 8-14. Alexander's entourage reacted to the adoption of customs
Persians---Arrian includes these later episodes about Cleitus and Callisthenes because they are related to the theme of adopting Persian customs. Cleitus and flattery: During a drunken night, Cleitus criticizes the flattery towards Alexander and belittles his military achievements. Enraged, Alexander kills him. Callisthenes' opposition to proskynesis: Alexander wants to be honored with the Persian custom of proskynesis (a gesture of homage). Believing his father is Ammon, not Philip, he considers himself worthy of this divine distinction.
interesting details 👍
The Eastern Roman Empire and the Sassanid Empire both played a significant role in the development of human civilization and culture. They were enemies and, more importantly, rivals, and they helped each other progress. Both of them had the ability to become the largest and most magnificent empire in the history of mankind if they did not have a stubborn and powerful neighbor like each other.
As an Iranian we are proud to have battled and gone head to head with such a formidable force like the Roman’s and to this day we see the Greeks and Romans as our most respected rivals throughout history.
You have nothing to be proud of, those are not your triumphs, go milk your Camels. 😄
The Roman Empire army at there peak was almost 500,000 warriors so if Roman Empire exist today he was going to be 1 of the 10 largest army in the world today in 2023 that how big and powerful unified Roman Empire was without question one of the best and largest army compare to any Empire in history but when he come to war with Iran King Shapur I The Emperor Hunter made this Empire look like joke Rome was almost completely destroyed by him he killed 150,000 or more warriors out 500,000 warriors of Roman Empire in few battle is victory are better than Hannibal vs Rome by numbers and also is victory are as good as any military commanders or ruler in history just is victory vs Rome forget about Kushan Empire, Parthian Empire or any others that he beat also Valerian, the only Roman emperor captured alive in all history in only 3 battle the blows that Shapur inflicted upon the Roman army were indeed catastrophic and deadly since the time of Hannibal up to one third of Rome’s professional army (including officers) numbering around 150,000 troops or even more had been simply eliminated in only 3 battle ONLY 3 the greatest psychological blow was the capture of Emperor Valerian and his ceremonial chariot as commemorated in the Shapur inscriptions (SKZ Shapur Kaba Zartusht Greek lines 19-37) as well as the sites of Naghsh-e-Rustam and Bishapur. Never in the history of Rome had a Roman Emperor been captured alive. According to Ferril

@@yaqubleis6311 yea I’ve seen naqshe rostam, it’s a national pride even for the devilish mullahs.

The first time I ever heard of this battle was actually from an art history class. We were in a period covering Persia in the classical period. There's statues, reliefs from Persia celebrating this victory. I remember them because it showed the Romans submitting in defeat to the victorious Sasanian ruler.
Anyways, the two empires would go back and forth for centuries fighting each other to the point of exhaustion. This allowed the Muslim conquests to be a possibility because Rome and Persia had beaten each other to a bloody pulp.
Yeah there are rock reliefs across Iran showcasing some of the Sassanian history and in particular the victory of Edessa portraying the shah on horse back, Philip the Arab kneeling in front of him and emperor Valerian standing in gesture , it's located in the province of Fars(Basically Persis from the ancient times), relatively close to Persepolis. It's also very interesting to see how many of the ancient city names from the Sassanian era have remained exactly the same throughout all the centuries with minimal changes. I also read somewhere that the very bridge the romans built in Iran is still standing to this date but unfortunately with the current regime in power, the least thing they care about is Iran itself...
But Romans never defeated persians@
@Warmaker - I learned of it through a powerful and disturbing poem by the American poet Anthony Hecht. Then in 2010, I travelled to Iran, and while visiting Persepolis, I saw Shapur I's victory bas relief at Naqsh-e-Rostam, about 3 km north of Persepolis. The relief depicts Valerian kneeling in surrender in front of a mounted Shapur.
درود برتو ... دقیقا گل گفتی❤ اگه رومیان و ایرانیان یکدیگر را فرسوده نمیکردند ، عرب ها خیلی حقیر تر از این حرف ها بودند ک با ایرانیان و رومیان بجنگند... ای کاش جنگهای خونین 25ساله بین ایرانیان و رومیان سرنمیگرفت چقد خوشبخت میشدن و میموندی مردمان این دو سرزمین❤❤

وهل يخسر العرب المعركة و فيهم عمر بن الخطاب كاسر ضلع كسرى 😂
There is a strange thing that the emperors who persecuted Christianity all received a painful end. For example Nero was deposed and committed suicide, Decius was betrayed and killed on the battlefield, Valerian was forced into slavery and Diocletianus clinical illness and suicide(google translation)
and Galerius's gangrene.
We are not like that sasanids were not slave owners we saw his lust for gold and rewarded him with molten gold as he wronged his people and betrayed them
Khosrow Shapur revived the glory of Iran and the Persians. While the Roman Empire thought that Iran was weak. But the glorious Persian warriors crushed Valerian's army with devastating attacks. They captured him and took him to Iran and used him and his soldiers to build Shushtar Dam. Persian men are always awake.
The heavy cavalry/cataphrats were the main forces of melee in the Sasanian army. Persian heavy cavalry of Sasanian era was called Shahswaran, meaning king cavalry, they were the first units in history with complete armour protection and their main weapon was in fact lances and mace, the very first version of knights, just as they are described on Shiraz historical sites and kermanshah mountain carvings. I even heard that the old Arabic word for knight, _Faris_ is same as the Arabic word for Persians.
The fight that led to Valerian kneeling before Shapur
That was Philip

One story is that Shapur used him as a footstool then skinned him alive after which his skin was stuffed with straw and kept in a Persian temple. And only cremated after a later Roman Victory.
As in almost all cinematic depictions of ancient field battles, the two opposing armies, heavily armed and in full armor, run towards each other from several hundred meters. This is physically impossible, the soldiers would have been so exhausted from the heavy load after this run that they would no longer have been able to fight. Instead, the armies advanced slowly towards each other until they collided.
Farya Faraji is the goat 🔥
I am Cyrus was a great music and although it was a nice choice, for battles that include Shapur I, I would've picked Shapur the victorious music
With the grace of Ahura Mazda, may the 'House of Sasan' rise again!
Cool man, Ahura Mazda vs Ahriman!
@@user-vg2ss1se7e just for curiosity, do you speak Persian? or have you been in contact with someone who speaks Persian?
Because the names Ahuramazda and Ahriman are known together only by Persian speakers😅
My friend, no, unfortunately I don't speak Farsi, but I have studied Classical Archaeology in England and I learned basic stuff about Zoroastrianism,. The impact of Persia on the western world is far greater than people understand, actually people haven't got a clue about it. Through the Greeks, ancient Persian culture has become part of our cosmos. We just don't know about it. I believe Greece and Persia shaped the modern world, the same way the shaped the ancient one.@@CyrusPersia-wv7zo
@@user-vg2ss1se7e I totally agree my friend, Greece and Persia were both great civilizations and world builders, great that you are knowledgeable and aware of this. I am also very interested in learning about ancient history and study it, but as a hobby, not a job. In the book I am reading, I have many references to cultural exchanges between Greeks and Persians. Really interesting and respectable 🇮🇷♥️🇬🇷
@@CyrusPersia-wv7zo I am not a professional, I only studied it, but then I studied International Affairs in the Middle East, so I am more aware of the cultural continuitions in the region and how it shapes what we seeing today. There is no doubt that Persian cultural and administrative values were transplanted to the West via the Hellenistic Kingdoms which Rome copied. Greeks copied the Persians and the Romans copied the Greeks. And I am really interested in what happened in Hellenistic Babylonia, Mesopotamia, and Bactria. There are many interested articles and studies on the subject. The Seleucids rebuilt all the mejor Temples in Uruk.
Now this was badass well done👏

Rome Total War: Your forces are under attack by the Sassanids
Me: Ah crap. Auto resolve and start building another army.
Awesome job! Nice to see that I'm not the only sucker who got surrounded and pummeled by those annoying horse archers.
The Sasanians defeated the Huns in history, and the leader of the Huns' army was the father of Attila
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j I think you mistook the Huns of Europe with the white Huns (Kidarites and Hephthalites) of central Asia
@@ramtin5152 It is true, but the European Huns in the era of Attila’s father tried to fight the Sassanids and Khosrow, and the Huns in Central Asia were allies of the Sassanids since the era of Shapur II.
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j As I told you before, the Huns tried to attack the Sassanids but there isn't much said about an invasion of Huns
Only that a Hunnic army was defeated in Armenia (as I told you before) but they were probably a raiding party and were there to scout the area
The Shahanshah of the Sassanid empire at the time of Attila was Yazdegerd II not Khosrow
And no the central Asian Huns were not allies of the Sassanids ever since Shapur II the great
Not always
The script writer of the battle of Edessa video in Historymarche channel said that he has sources that the first Sassanid king, Ardeshir I, met a Hunnic king during his campaigns in central Asia and defeated the Hunnic king in battle
Shapur II fought and defeated them and in the end they were made to serve in the Sassanid army in their battles with Rome
In 395 AD, Basiq and Kursich led two detachments down the Euphrates, threatening the capital Ctesiphon
Upon hearing that, the Sasanian army marched against them and the Huns retreated after taking some casualties
One group however, was overtaken and completely defeated (though it seems the commander survived)
The Sasanians took nearly all of the booty, and freed 18,000 captives
The other group of Huns retreated through the Derbent Pass
During the reign of Bahram V (who is called Bahram Gur because of his obsession with hunting onagers), while Bahram was occupied with the war with the Romans, his eastern neighbours, Kidarites, crossed the Oxus river and invaded the Sasanian realm, conquering the rich city of Marw/Merv and even reaching as far as westwards as Ray
Bahram was thus forced to pay tribute to the Kidarites, in order to stop their incursions into his empire
However, Bahram passed through the mountain chain on the southern shore of the Caspian sea, eventually reaching Merv
There, his forces routed the Kidarites in a battle, killing their king in the process and capturing his wife, the queen of the Kidarites
A general of Bahram pursued the Kidarites into Transoxiana and inflicted another defeat on them
The war was concluded in 427, with Bahram cementing his name as a great champion of Iran
The name of Bahram was long remembered amongst the people of the surrounding area
The Sogdian city of Bukhara would later mint coins with his image
In 450, Yazdegerd II launched an expedition into deep Kidarite territory in Central Asia, raiding and capturing forts and cities, which resulted in the accumulation of many captives and riches and managed to secure the eastern portion of his empire against the Kidarite incursions
One of Yazdegerd's general was defeated by the Kidarites but the Kidarites were finally completely defeated by a Sassanid Hephthalite alliance but the Sassanids and Hephthalites became enemies and then the Sassanid king, Peroz I was defeated 3 times and killed in the end and most of eastern Sassanid provinces were conquered by Hephthalites
However, the Hephthalites were stopped and heavily defeated by an Iranian noble called Sukhra of the house of Karen and but since most of the Sassanid army was lost during those 3 battles, they weren't able to take back the lost territories
But they took back the treasury of the king, all the plunders, Peroz daughter and the main priest of the king
Kavad I was able to take back the great Khorasan from them after defeating them, a large part of the lost territories
His son Khosrow Anushiravan finally defeated the Hephthalites and took back all the previous Sassanid provinces by an alliance with the Gokturks and conquered the southern half of the Hephthalite kingdom
Years later 3 Perso Turkic wars happened :
Perso-Turkic war of 588-589
Perso Turkic war of 606/607-608 (some say it was in 619)
Perso Turkic war of 627-629 (can't even be called a war though)
The first and second, which were the most important ones, were won by the Sassanids
In the last one wasn't fought in Central Asia but in the Caucasus in the middle of the last Byzantine Sassanid war
Gokturks invaded two Sassanid forts while the Sassanids were busy fighting Romans
An army of 30,000 Gokturks defeated 10,000 Sassanid soldiers sent by Shahrbaraz and raided few territories but they went back to the steppes out of fear of a Sassanid retaliation
though we still know very little about this battle, the outcome was fatal for Roman army... most of 70000 Romans were lost, the Emperor was taken as prisoner. And this is not the first time Romans were completely defeated in this region... the battle of Carrae is another example of this...
Thank you, this was brilliant!

Wow! Period correct armor! Nice to see someone get it right for once!
the rivalry between the persian dynasties and the greco-roman world has to be one of the most if not the most epic in history. it was a tremendous clash of forces that lasted for a thousand years since Darius to Heraclius. Both sides had spectacular victories and defeats on the battle field, but in the end nobody won as the Caliphate would sweep both empires. A thousand years of war for nothing, it boggles the mind how incredibly glorious and stupid is human history.
The speaker should educate himself a little and not be bias! The Sassanids was a dynasty of IRAN (Persia) and was not a middle eastern empire only but it was a world empire! Basically there were only two major world empires in this world during the Romans era, one was Persia and the other was Rome!

After this one Roman Emperor Valerian imprisoned and slaved by Sassanian King Shapur I Byzantine Emperor Romanos Diogenes imprisoned and freed by Seljuk sultan Muhammed Alparslan in THE battle of manzikert in 1071
Christian authors who hated Valerian claim he was tortured by Shapur while others claim he was treated well
According to the modern scholar Touraj Daryaee, contrary to the account of Lactantius, Shapur I sent Valerian and some of his army to the city of Bishapur or Gundishapur where they lived in relatively good conditions
According to the early Persian Muslim scholar Abu Hanifa Dinawari, Shapur settled the prisoners of war in Gundishapur and released Valerian, as promised, after the construction of Band-e Kaisar

Awesome cinematics, but the Roman army of this period would have used long spears to repel cavalry attacks and their heavy infantry of the legions would have made mincemeat of the Sassanid infantry if it attacked directly like shown here. The archery battle should have gone on much longer with the Romans losing men the whole time. Against Crassus, the Parthians had won by bringing up camel trains with loads of thousands of extra arrows, so they never ran out of ammunition. We don't know exactly what happened at Edessa, but probably Valerian got lured out into the open and shot to pieces by horse archers just like Crassus, following which the Sassanid Cataphracts crushed them. The Romans seem to have had too few archers and inferior cavalry for a battle in such open terrain favoring a mobile enemy.
In the direct confrontation there was no battle between Romans and Persians. Whenever the Romans managed to engage the Persians in a pitched battle, the battle became a massacre of the Persians. The only way the Persians could win was to avoid a head-on clash, using guerrilla techniques and shooting arrows from afar.
@@Los3parceros Except that the terrain of Iraq is wide open waterless, treeless steppe with small folds that can conceal cavalry bands. In short, it was terrain that totally favored cavalry. Heavy infantry could march for weeks without seeing anything. Then be suddenly ambushed by hidden enemies that just appeared from what looked an empty landscape, and then disappeared again. The Persians didn't have to fight pitched infantry battles in the Roman style and had few cities to defend. The Romans took Ctesiphon numerous times, but that never translated into real control over the Empire as a whole. That especially was apparent when Trajan conquered all the way to Persian Gulf, but immediately rebellions sprung up all over the place and overwhelmed his garrisons. In the midst of this he died and his successor, Hadrian, realizing the impossibility of holding all of Trajan's conquests relinquished nearly all of them.
well, Sassanids had descent infantry too, immortals for example. Still, I suppose Roman heavy legionary was better, but they had the strongest cavalry in their time so they used their edge to win battles...
I would love to see how the roman emperor was captured
Your music has quite a BYZANTINE flavor....well done ZITO SAS

Do not round the face of Iranians like desert Arabs. Sassanid soldiers are not like that
