Battle of Misiche
The Battle of Misiche, Mesiche, or Massice (dated between January 13 and March 14, 244 AD.〔Potter, ''Empire at Bay'', p.234–235,〕) was fought between the Sassanid Persians and the Romans somewhere in ancient Mesopotamia. The result was a Roman defeat.
==Background==
The initial war began when the Roman Emperor Gordian III invaded Persia (Iran) in 243. His troops advanced as far as Misiche. The location of that city (or maybe a district) is conjectural.〔Ernst Herzfeld counters Rostovtzeff's view that it was in Assyria, writing "But Sas() Asuristan is Babylonia..., and Mesiche is Pliny's Masice, the point on the Euphrates in the measurements of the Bematists." Herzfeld, ''The Persian Empire: Studies in Geography and Ethnography of the Ancient Near East'' (F. Steiner, 1968), p. 219.〕 It is often placed roughly 64 km west of Baghdad in Iraq, near the modern city of Fallujah; Ehsan Yarshater calls it "not far from Ctesiphon."〔E. Yarshater, ''The Cambridge History of Iran'', Vol. 3: ''The Seleucid, Parthian and Sasanid Periods, Part 1 of 2'' (Cambridge University Press, 1983: ISBN 0-521-20092-X), p. 125.〕
