NOTES:

Sasanian (Sasanid) Empire was the Iranian empire succeeded the Parthian Empire (247 BC–224 AD). It was ruled by the Sasanian dynasty from 224 to 651 AD when it was succeeded by Muslim Caliphates.

The Sasanian Empire (also spelled Sassanian , Sasanid or Sassanid ) was the last pre-Islamic Persian empire , established in 224 CE by Ardeshir I, son of Papak, descendant of Sasan. The Empire lasted until 651 CE when it was overthrown by the Arab Caliphate. It is considered by the Iranian people to be a highlight of their civilization , for after the fall of the Achaemenid Empire at the hands of Alexander the Great in 330 BCE until the fall of the Parthian Empire, there was not be another state that truly felt ”Iranian".

After Alexander 's death in 323 BCE, the Iranian Plateau fell into the hands of Seleucus I Nicator , one of the Diadochoi (Alexander's generals). He established a Hellenistic state known as the Seleucid Empire , mainly on what is today the Islamic Republic of Iran, although at its height the Empire extended from modern-day Turkey to modern-day Pakistan. The Seleucids, although certainly influenced by the Iranian people over whom they ruled, still kept true to their Greco-Macedonian origins and hence were not seen as native rulers by their subjects.

         By 155 BCE, the Parthians had conquered all of the Iranian territories of the Seleucid Empire. The Parthians, a group of Northeastern Iranians, who, although certainly refreshing to their Iranian subjects, were still heavily influenced by Hellenistic culture. They are mostly known to the European world as antagonists of the Roman Empire , and their culture is often neglected in history books. The Parthians themselves fell to Ardeshir I, who was a Persian for he came from the province of Fars (originally known as Pars, which is where the word Persian comes from) from where the Achaemenids came. He installed his own dynasty under the family name of his forefather Sasan.

The Sasanians then started a process that would reinstate the values of Iranian culture. Although certainly still Hellenized,  the Sasanians started a process of "Iranization" unlike the Parthians before them: Zoroastrianism became one of the founding stones of the Empire -- nevertheless religious minorities such as Jews, Christians, Manicheans, and other faiths of the Iranian people would play an important part. Some of the Sasanian kings even married Jewish and Christian women .

For 400 years the Sasanian Empire was the major power in the Near East as the rival of the Late Roman Empire. Not only that, but they sustained relations with the Tang Dynasty of China and several Indian Kingdoms where their products and culture were held in high esteem.
