“Crowned king of the Sasanian Empire allegedly when still in his mother's womb, Shapur is famous for the length of his reign and his victory over the emperor Julian in 363. Under his reign, a reorganisation of Zoroastrianism took place and, as a reaction to Constantine's conversion, there were repeated persecutions of Christians. These are remembered in Joh. Eph., EH 2.20.” 3
