>You will never advise the Sassanids to fight off the rest

First you would have to answer why they should invade a desert with a few cities and hostile tribes

>>2416446
Well they were influencing tribes like Yemen and today-Oman, so they could just continue to expand their influence.
It looked like it was their goal before the crumble of the empire.

And convince the Shah to not fight the other major regional power?

>you will never convice Justinian to not piss away his recourses at Italy

>>2416433
>>2416462

So you two would want to prevent the rise of the Carolingians and Abbasids, thereby rob the world of their economic and intellectual advancements setting us back centuries for what, exactly?

Those borders look like drawn in MSpaint.

>Albania

Albanese confirmed as non white colonizers

Kosovo je Srbija

"Arabs" were not a regional power at that point because they weren't united. It's be like trying to convince the Chinese about the Mongol Empire before Genghis was born. It took the Caliphate uniting them for them to become a regional power. Before that they were mostly a collection of semi nomadic merchants.

Already happened once in 300 AD, after the Arabs invaded Mesopotamia and made it up to the Pars region.

Shapur II led an expedition into Arabia when he was 16 and destroyed a bunch of Arab tribes while filling their wells with sand to make sure they stayed dead.
But he had to pull out after Rome started shit in Syria.

Why would the Ostrogoths and the Vandals being around keep the Frankish kingdom from coming out on top?

>tfw you'll never stop Emperor Julian from going full retard against the Sassanids
>tfw you'll never save rome

Those places were worth it though with cities and spices and other goods. What good what it do to march to a desolate desert wasteland to subdue a tribe

>>2416433

Not putting a 12 year old in charge of the country would be the first step.

the ending of the last byzantine--sassanian war is i some depressing shit

>tfw heraclius would be remembered as one of rome's greatest general after caesar had he died earlier.

instead he saw the peace he worked his whole crumble in front of his eye

>>2416596
keeping the arian ostrogoths around wound make it impossible for the pope to bann science tho

>>2418853

>>2416433
>implying you could compete with uthman
if the sassanids had just ceded mesopotamia, even temporarily, they wouldnt have needed to invade persia
