mar 19, 244 - Battle of Misiche
Description:
The Sasanian Empire decisively defeated a Roman force at Misiche, near modern Fallujah. Gordian III (Emperor of Rome) was killed, probably by a fellow Roman. He was succeeded by Philip the Arab, the prefect of the Praetorian Guard, who was forced to cede Mesopotamia and Armenia to the Sasanian Empire.
