Ardashir II (Middle Persian: Persian: اردشیر دوم‎) was the eleventh Sassanid King of Persia from 379 to 383.He was the brother of his predecessor Shapur II (309–379). During the reign of Shapur II Ardashir had served as governor-King of Adiabene where he had reportedly persecuted Christians.However the acts of brutality against Christians attributed to him severely contradict the unanimous view that he was the most kind and virtuous of the Sassanian rulers.
