The East Roman–Sassanid War of 440 was a short conflict between the East Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire. The reason for its short ending was, that the southern Roman provinces were invaded by the Vandals, which forced them to sue for a quick end to war in order to focus on the Vandal invasion. The Sasanians were also paid some money.^[2]
