Pigranes

Pigranes was a 4th-century Sasanian military officer active during the reign of Shapur II ((r. 309 – 379)). According to Ammianus Marcellinus, on 29 May 363, when the forces of the Roman Emperor Julian ((r. 361 – 363)) besieged the Sasanian capital of Ctesiphon, Pigranes along with his fellow officers Narseus and Surena were defeated and forced to flee to the interior of the city walls.
