What city did the Romans lose during Julian's successor's peace deal?
Antioch
Jerusalem
Nisibis
Damascus
Answer
Nisibis, a strategically important city in ancient Mesopotamia, was ceded by the Romans to the Sassanids as part of the peace treaty that followed the death of Emperor Julian in 363 AD. This concession was made to secure peace and stability along the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire, although it was seen as a significant loss given Nisibis's military and economic importance.
