Shmuel also left his native Babylonia to study at Rabbi's academy. Coming back before Rav and outliving him, Shmuel established Neharedea as the leading center of Torah study in Babylonia. Besides his Torah scholarship, Shmuel was famous for being an astronomer and physician and was honored by King Shapur I of Persia.
