The Battle of Misiche was fought between the Sassanid Persians and the Romans. The initial war began when the Roman Emperor Gordian III invaded Persia (Iran) in 243. His troops advanced as far as Misiche, just north of Ctesiphon, the Sassanid Capital. The Romans were defeated and it is unknown whether Gordian died during battle or was assassinated later by his own officers.

Gordian's successor, Philip the Arab was proclaimed emperor of Rome and made peace with Shapur, agreeing to pay a large ransom.
