What is the general view about Iran (Ancient Persia) in Ancient countries like Greece and Italy (who were empire enemies of ancient Persians)?
Did the Romans ever invade Persia?
Yes, the Romans did invade Persia during the Byzantine-Sasanian Wars, which lasted for several centuries. These wars were fought over territorial disputes and religious differences, as the Byzantines were Christian and the Persians were Zoroastrian. The wars eventually led to the weakening of both empires and paved the way for the rise of new powers in the region, such as the Arab Caliphate.
