Narseh of Persia



:''For other historical figures with similar names, see Narses (disambiguation).'' Narseh (whose name is also sometimes written as Narses or Narseus) was a Sassanian King of Persian Empire (292 - 303), and son of Shapur I of Persia. He rose as pretender to the throne against his grand-nephew Bahram III of Persia in AD 292, and soon became sole king. He attacked the Roman Empire, but after defeating the emperor Galerius near Callinicum on the Euphrates in 296 was completely defeated in 297, and forced to conclude a peace, by which western Mesopotamia and five provinces on the left bank of the upper Tigris were ceded to the Romans and their sovereignty over the kingdom of Armenia was acknowledged. This peace, concluded in 297, lasted for forty years. Narses died in 303 and was succeeded by his son Hormizd II of Persia. {| align="center" cellpadding="2" border="2" |- | width="30%" align="center" | Preceded by:
