KeywordsArchaeologists believe in that Shah Abad villagenow situated in southern part of Dezful citythere was a large city called "veh Antyuk Shapur"in Sassanian dynastywith a very ancient history. In old bibliography sources it was called Jentashapir and has been popular due to the beautiful garden. The first Sassanian king?Shapur?defeated ?Valerian?the Roman Emperor during two big battles in the city of Antioch (Antakiyah) in Shamand countless Roman prisoners have been moved there. After this incidenthe changed the city name to"that means the city of Shapur is better than Antioch. After the Roman prisoner's settlementthe local people named this area as "Gundy Shapur"which means the "accommodation of Shapur Corps". Thengradually the city name changed to Gandy Shapurwhen after Islam troops conquered the cityit was called "Jundishapur"this name remainds in historical books. Shapur later married the the next Roman kings daughter and then decided to change this place to Roman city to satisfy his wife. Ever since Hippocratic medicine by the immigrant Roman's doctors came in to existence. On the Other handChristian Byzantine internal disputes in creased the immigration. With the presence of Christian's scientists and doctors the city changed to a more prosperous place. Facilitating Roman's migration caused the city to develop and chang to a large academic medical center managed by Christian doctors. This scenario continued several years until the Islamic periodand in the Abbassian dynastyin the second centuryit was considered as most prestigious university of Islam world.
