Diameter: 31mm Weight: 3.85gm (silver) Material: Silver The Sassanid Empire also spelled Sa-ssa-nian , also called Sa-sa-nid (AD 224?651), ancient Iranian dynasty evolved by Ardashi-r I in years of conquest, AD 208?224, and destroyed by the Arabs during the years 637?651. The dynasty was named after Sa-sa-n, an ancestor of Ardashi-r I. Under the leadership of Ardashi-r I (reigned 224?241), the Sa-sa-nians overthrew the Parthians and created an empire that was constantly changing in size as it reacted to Rome and Byzantium to the west and to the Kushans and Hephthalites to the east. At the time of Sha-pu-r I (reigned AD 241?272), the empire stretched from Sogdiana and Iberia (Georgia) in the north to the Mazun region of Arabia in the south; in the east it extended to the Indus River and in the west to the upper Tigris and Euphrates river valleys. A revival of Iranian nationalism took place under Sa-sa-nian rule. Zoroastrianism became the state religion, and at various times followers of other faiths suffered official persecution. The government was centralized, with provincial officials directly responsible to the throne, and roads, city building, and even agriculture were financed by the government. Under the Sa-sa-nians Iranian art experienced a general renaissance. Architecture often took grandiose proportions, such as the palaces at Ctesiphon, Fi-ru-za-ba-d, and Sarvestan. Perhaps the most characteristic and striking relics of Sa-sa-nian art are rock sculptures carved on abrupt limestone cliffs, for example at Sha-hpu-r (Bishapur), Naqsh-e Rostam, and Naqsh-e Rajab. Metalwork and gem engraving became highly sophisticated. Scholarship was encouraged by the state, and works from both the East and West were translated into Pahlavi, the language of the Sa-sa-nians.
