The son of Sapor lived as the heir to the Persian crown until his capture in the Persian camp. His fate became one of the most brutal episodes of Roman-Persian conflict, as he was scourged, tortured, and publicly executed by the Romans in an act of inhuman cruelty that shocked even contemporary observers.
