So I decided to make a map of the evolution of the near east since I retconned things and added the vassals of the romans from the timeline
Heraclius won the war in 628 and installed Adarnase I as prince of Iberia and gave some lands to Theodore as prince of Armenia after the Sassanid situation continued to decline and Turkic raids reached calmed down the Sassanid empire was not recovering so the king of Caucasian Albania Javanshir revolted and attacked northern Iran and portions of Sassanid Armenia taking key fortresses and asked Heraclius to intervene while Heraclius recognized his claim the state was busy with the Balkan campaign against the slavs so Heraclius never sent much aside from some raids against Sassanid Persia.
Nearly 20 years after the wars end the roman empire had begun its recovery under Heraclius and Constans II despite Gregory's rebellion the new emperor's skill for management and administration allowed him to intervene in Persia where he supported Gil Gavbara, now he was not the first military commander related to the house of Sasan to attempt to overthrow him many others just carved the realm and had become defacto independent rulers, however, none could take the throne since despite the bickering of the nobles Yazdegered III served as a great puppet and emperor that could not challenge the nobles, with Turkish and Arab raids increasing Gil Gavbara asked Constans for help and he did he took all of Persian Armenia and gave it to Theodore for his service and the Dabuyids would give up all claims to Caucasian Albania, while the empire had recovered Constans II kept the vassals as managing against Khazar raids would be to costly and just set up garrisons while giving the royals of these lands titles prestige in the roman court with a lot of freedom, as for the Persians while we call them the Dabuyids Gil Gavbara claimed he restored the sasanid dynasty who had gone astray
during the reign of Constantine IV, the Dabuyid empire entered into a series of crises as shah Dabuya tried to wrestle power from the great houses Turkic raids after tang victories and the increase of Arab migrations caused the shah to surrender Mesopotamia which was been devastated by raids going so far as near the capital that he offered emperor Constantine the province the romans had also dealt with the Arabs but in a better matter than the Persians with that area of Mesopotamia were annex while Constantine found one of the few direct members of the house of Sasan the son of Yazdegerd III, Peroz who became king of Mesopotamia, his son Bahram tried to betray the romans were Justinian was presumed dead and the civil war of the late 7th early 8th century began, however as the great mother confederation arrived he joined Justinian II defeated them and thus ending the era of massive Arab migrations, when the ghassanids also gained dominion of many tribes after expelling arabs from the area, Bahram would also later convert to Christianity but keep Zoroastrianism and Judaism as respected regions as time progressed and the romans continued to ascends, events in the east with the tang expansion made it so that the Dabuyids didn't declare war an era of peace continued were Constantine V took the the throne defeated the expanding berbers and 100 years after their establishment fough the khazars who up until then were content with just raiding the empire but now seeked souther expansion, during this time greek again began to spread from the gulf to the Caucasus it would not be until the middle of the 9th century nearly 200 years after the era of Constantine that the Dabuyids after there second great war with the romans would destroy the kingdom of Mesopotamia and take Albania back
