Abstract :The book, that has been published by Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in 2012 and is essentially a revised and expanded translation of a study written in Polish titled Geografia wojen rzymsko-irańskich. Działania Rzymu i Iranu w okresie sasanidzkim, has been published in English and prepared primarily for students who take interest in the history of the Near East. The study discusses the names of the regions and sites where wars, conflicts, sieges and conquests took place between the Roman and Sasanian empires, and the border changes brought about by the treaties made between the sides throughout a time frame from the first quarter of the 3rd century A.D. to the early Islamic conquests in the first quarter of the 7th century A.D.
