Their talking about Shapur II. The dude was crowned in utero and he reigned for over 70 fucking years. One of the longest record reigns of any ruler in history period.

Nigga did his damndest to hold the empire together -- constantly running here there and everywhere. Instead of fracturing for some time, the whole thing probably would have dissolved early under anyone less capable.
Besides that, the young emperor Gracien's eagerness to assist Valens against the Goths in the Balkans, despite his lack of military proficiency, indicates to me that he genuinely wanted do the best that could.

This, plus Diocletian obviously.
Majorian was going to reconquer North Africa saving the Western Empire from its extinction by getting all the Carthage taxes back. If his fleet hadn't been wiped out by fireships, things would have been very, very different.
