Detailed explanation-1: -After decades of inconclusive fighting, Emperor Maurice ended the Byzantine-Sasanian War of 572-591 by helping the exiled Sasanian prince Khosrow, the future Khosrow II, to regain his throne from the usurper Bahrām Chobin.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was also the final conflict between the two mighty empires, as the Sassanid Empire fell to the armies of Islam shortly after the war concluded. Under emperor Heraclius, the Roman Empire triumphed, but it was a Pyrrhic victory.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sasanians vied for power with the Byzantine Empire, the other major civilization that dominated the Late Antique Period (Post-Classical). However, unlike the Byzantine Empire, which persisted into the fifteenth century, the Sasanian Empire witnessed a complete collapse after the rise of Islam in this region.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Byzantine empire and Sasanid Persians competed as geopolitical rivals for over four centuries. The clash of these two great empires across Mesopotamia created an arena of harsh anarchical competition and a fortified buffer zone stretching from the Caucasus in the north to the deserts of Arabia in the south.
