Al-Hira was an ancient Lakhmid Arabic city in Mesopotamia located south of what is now Kufa in south-central Iraq. The Sasanian government established the Lakhmid Kingdom of Hatra on the edge of the Arabian Desert near Iraq in order to both prevent direct confrontation between the two empires and to gain its support in battles against Rome.
