Abstract
Keywords
Archaeologists believe in that Shah Abad village
now situated in southern part of Dezful city
there was a large city called "
veh Antyuk Shapur"
in Sassanian dynasty
with 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 Sham
and countless Roman prisoners have been moved there. After this incident
he changed the city name to"
that means the city of Shapur is better than Antioch. After the Roman prisoner'
s settlement
the local people named this area as "
Gundy Shapur"
which means the "
accommodation of Shapur Corps"
. Then
gradually the city name changed to Gandy Shapur
when after Islam troops conquered the city
it was called "
Jundishapur"
this name remainds in historical books. Shapur later married the the next Roman king
s 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 hand
Christian 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 period
and in the Abbassian dynasty
in the second century
it was considered as most prestigious university of Islam world.
