The siege of Dura Europos took place when the Sasanians under Shapur I besieged the Roman city of Dura-Europos in 256 after capturing Antioch. Dura-Europos was an important trading center in Roman Syria. It may or may not be the same as the "Doura" recorded in Shapur I's inscriptions. The town was in Sasanian hands for some time after its fall, and was later abandoned. Intact archaeological evidences at Dura provide details of the Roman presence there, and the dramatic course of the siege. The garrison was determined to resist the siege, and the Sasanians employed a variety of siege warfare techniques to defeat them. Archaeological evidences suggest that the garrison at Dura-Europos was mixed, composed of Cohors XX Palmyrenorum (which is known more than the others), vexillations from Legio

rdfs:comment	L'assedio di Dura Europos del 256 costituì la fase finale della seconda campagna militare di Sapore I contro le armate romane del cosiddetto limes orientale. (it) O Cerco de Dura Europo de 256 ocorreu na sequência da grande expedição liderada pelo xá Sapor I (r. 240–270) contra as províncias orientais do Império Romano em 252-253. Os sitiadores conseguiram capturar a cidade, mas logo perderam-a quando foram repelidos pelo imperador Valeriano (r. 253–260). (pt) Die Eroberung von Dura Europos fand in den Jahren 253 und 256 n. Chr. durch die Sassaniden statt. Dura Europos war damals eine römische Stadt im heutigen Syrien, die von den Sassaniden belagert wurde. Die Stadt liegt am Euphrat, auf einem Wüstenplateau, das den Fluss überblickt. Im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. war dies die Grenzregion zwischen dem römischen und dem sassanidischen Reich. Durch die erhöhte Lage hatte der Ort eine besondere strategische Bedeutung. Die Belagerung und die darauffolgende Einnahme der Stadt sind nur archäologisch, nicht durch textliche Quellen bezeugt. Die damals benutzten Belagerungstechniken der Sassaniden werden oftmals als frühestes Beispiel für chemische Kriegsführung zitiert.
