Shah Narseh who led the Sasanian’s invaded Rome’s state in west Armenia.

This event made Diocletian leave his campaign with his commander Galerius and march to Egypt where he then swiftly took out Domitianus.

Galerius was furious, he ignored the envoy and didn’t give an answer as to whether he wanted to accept the peace agreements.

[citation needed] The message sent by Narseh went as follows: "The whole human race knows that the Roman and Persian kingdoms resemble two great luminaries, and that, like a man's two eyes, they ought mutually to adorn and illustrate each other, and not in the extremity of their wrath to seek rather each other's destruction.

The orders which my master has given me are to entrust all the rights of Persia to the clemency of Rome; and I therefore do not even bring with me any conditions of peace, since it is for the emperor to determine everything.

I have only to pray, on my master's behalf, for the restoration of his wives and male children; if he receives them at your hands, he will be forever beholden to you, and will be better pleased than if he recovered them by force of arms.

Even now my master cannot sufficiently thank you for the kind treatment which he hears you have vouchsafed them, in that you have offered them no insult, but have behaved towards them as though on the point of giving them back to their kith and kin.

He sees herein that you bear in mind the changes of fortune and the instability of all human affairs"[citation needed] Narseh the leader of the Sasanian’s was the youngest child of Shapur I.
