Shapur I led several campaigns against the Romans, capturing key cities and fortresses. The most notable confrontation was the Battle of Edessa. The Roman Emperor Valerian led an army to repel the Sassanian forces but was decisively defeated.
The defeat at Edessa resulted in the capture of Emperor Valerian, a major event in Roman history. Valerian is the only Roman emperor known to have been captured as a prisoner of war.
Shapur I commemorated his victory through rock reliefs and inscriptions. The Naqsh-e Rustam reliefs near Persepolis depict Shapur triumphing over three Roman emperors, symbolizing his victories over Gordian III, Philip the Arab, and Valerian.
The capture of Valerian and the successes of Shapur I against the Romans are often seen as high points of Sassanian power and influence.

Another Edward Curtis photo of a Crow (Apsaroke) man. He is tethered to the pole with visible leather straps, that hold two sharp stakes which pierce both sides of his chest. He pulls back on the pole, with each tug stretching the skin on his chest like a slingshot. this goes on for 4 days, and he cannot stop until he gets a vision. He is eventually freed, when the flesh is torn off his body and the stakes fall to the ground. In the Lakota version of this, the man blows an eagle bone whistle throughout the procedure. This is not for the faint hearted, and the participants' courage level is off the charts. Meanwhile, you can see blood on his body even from the rear. After this test, for warriors like him, riding into battle is like going to the market.

In the bygone era, when the American frontier beckoned with untamed possibilities, there existed a marvel known as the Conestoga wagon—an unrivaled titan of its time. Much like the mighty 18-wheeler trucks of today, these remarkable wagons embarked on daring journeys, bearing precious cargoes of finished goods and vital supplies into the untamed western territories.

To witness their grandeur was to behold an "inland ship of commerce," its billowing white covers fluttering like proud sails.

Shopkeepers and shoppers interacted with each other, pricing was going and fresh vegetables were sprouted everywhere. In this busy atmosphere we get a glimpse of the markets of India, where we get to see the same bustle and crowd.
