A proposito di questo titolo

After the Parthian era, Persia entered a new golden age under the Sassanid dynasty. This episode follows the rise of Ardashir I, who overthrew the last Parthian king in 224 CE and founded an empire that would rival Rome for four centuries. We explore the religious revolution under Kartir, who made Zoroastrianism a state church, and the visionary rule of Khosrow I, who reformed taxation and patronized science. The episode delves into the Sassanid art of war, including their use of heavy cavalry and siege techniques, and their cultural exchange with India and China. We also examine the empire's tragic end in the 7th century after the devastating Byzantine war and the Muslim conquest, culminating in the Battle of Nihavand in 642. The conversation touches on the legacy of the Sassanid legacy in Persian identity and Islamic civilization, including the preservation of knowledge and the epic Shahnameh.
