Question

Differenced between the roman and sasanian empire 1 history

Answer 1

The Sasanian Empire was founded by Ardashir I, after the fall of the Parthian Empire and the defeat of the last Arsacid king, Artabanus V. At its greatest extent, the Sasanian Empire encompassed all of today's Iran,Iraq, Eastern Arabia (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatif,Qatar, UAE), the Levant (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon,Israel, Jordan), the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia,Azerbaijan, Dagestan), Egypt, large parts of Turkey, much of Central Asia (Afghanistan, Turkmenistan,Uzbekistan, Tajikistan), Yemen and Pakistan. According to a legend, the vexilloid of the Sasanian Empire was the Derafsh Kaviani.[17]

The Sasanian Empire during Late Antiquity is considered to have been one of Iran's most important, and influential historical periods and constituted the last great Iranian empire before theMuslim conquest and the adoption of Islam.[18] In many ways, the Sasanian period witnessed the peak of ancient Iranian civilisation. The Sasanians' cultural influence extended far beyond the empire's territorial borders, reaching as far as Western Europe,[19]Africa,[20] China and India.[21] It played a prominent role in the formation of both European and Asianmedieval art.[22] Much of what later became known as Islamic culture in art, architecture, music and other subject matter was transferred from the Sasanians throughout the Muslim world.[23]
