A battering-ram reportedly brought down one of the towers, through which the besiegers entered the city. Later that year, Constantius II tried to retake Bezabde, but was unsuccessful.

  • L'assedio di Bezabde fu un episodio delle campagne siriano-mesopotamiche di Sapore II. Nel 360 le armate persiane di Sapore II assediarono ed espugnarono la fortezza romana di Bezabde in Zabdicene, e, ritenendola una fortezza importante strategicamente, provvedettero a restaurare quelle porzioni delle mura in cattivo stato e a porvi molte provviste e una forte guarnigione persiana al suo interno, in modo da prevenire una possibile riconquista romana. Nello stesso anno l'Imperatore romano Costanzo II tentò la riconquista della città cingendola d'assedio, ma ogni suo assalto venne respinto, e i Persiani poterono conservare il possesso di Bezabde.
