Dinar - Shapur II

Shapur II ruled for 70 years — the longest reign in Sasanian history, spanning the entirety of the fourth century's middle decades — and spent much of it at war, simultaneously defending eastern frontiers against the Chionites and conducting three major campaigns against Rome that culminated in the humiliating Treaty of 363, which returned Nisibis and fifteen other cities to Persia after three centuries of Roman control.

The Göbl Ia/7 classification places this among the earliest die groupings of his coinage, likely predating the Roman conflicts of the 340s.
