		However, this monument is not meant exclusively for the glorification of Ardashir III but more generally for the re-establishment of the Sasanian kingship which was threatened by the destruction of Takht-i Taqdîs by the Byzantine emperor Heraclius in 624.
		Although the necklace and earring of Yazdgard III depicted on his first type of coins are almost identical with those of Ardashir III, he should be duly excluded because his coin type concerned is nothing but the copy of that of Ardashir III's.
		Therefore the ground design of this monument was decided during the reign of Ardashir III and eventually his royal effigy was adopted simply as the representative one by the designers in order to visualize the Sasanian kingship which had been symbolized by the so-called Takht-i Taqdîs destroyed by the Byzantine emperor Heraclius in 623/624.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Gordian III
		Philip, who was proclaimed Gordian III's successor by the army, seems to have reported that the 19-year-old emperor died of an illness.
		Gordian III was a child emperor, but his reign was not perceived as having been burdened by the troubles faced by other young emperors (such as Nero, Commodus and Elagabalus).
		Gordian III's unlikely accession and seemingly stable reign reveal that child emperors, like modern-day constitutional monarchs, had their advantage: a distance from political decision-making and factionalism that enabled the emperor to be a symbol of unity for the various constituency groups (aristocrats, bureaucrats, soldiers, urban residents) in Roman society.

		However, the crown-type concerned is similar to that of Peroz, Khusraw II, Ardashir III and Yazdgard III.
		However, this monument is not meant exclusively for the glorification of Ardashir III but more generally for the re-establishment of the Sasanian kingship which was threatened by the destruction of Takht-i Taqdis by the Byzantine emperor Heraclius in 624.
		Therefore the sculpturing work continued after the murder of Ardashir III in 630 and came to an end probably by the Arab invasion in around 637.
