	Iranica.com - IRAN
		From the De@nkard and the Bundahiæn it is clear that the Sasanid rendition of national history was narrated within the framework of a religious worldview.
		In general, the mythical Piæda@did kings and the legendary Kaya@nids are cast in the mold of Sasanid monarchs: they begin their reign with an address from the throne, to which, following the Sasanid custom, the mobads and nobles respond in laudatory terms.
		No mention is made of Kerd^r, the Zoroastrian arch-mobad either here or during the reign of the next three Sasanid kings, in spite of his profound influence in merging secular and religious institutions and transforming the Sasanid state into a theocratic one.

	The Iranian: Letters
		For example, when Ardashir I founded the Sasanid Empire, he systematically went about destroying all written documentation of the Parthian rulers he had just overthrown.
		The Parthians had been admirers of the Hellenistic culture brought to Iran by the conquest of Alexander the Great, and Ardashir wanted to emphasize the 'Iranianness' of his new empire by distancing it as much as possible from anything that would remind Iranians of the painful Greco-Macedonian domination over their country.
		What's astonishing is that when the Sasanid themselves came to power, they knew very little about the Achaemenid rulers from 500 years before.

	Chapter 9 Instructor's Essay: Sasanid Persia & Islam
		Sasanid Persia, 224 - 651 CE The Sasanid story takes up only a few pages of Chapter 10, which is the perhaps understandable fate of a dynasty that had the bad luck to exist just before the rise of one of the great new world beliefs and empires (Islam).
		The Sasanids came to power in the era in which Mediterranean-centered Rome was first weakening (the 200s CE) and then re-centering itself in the east, as the Byzantine Empire (300s on).
		Basically, the Sasanids created a state the worked a good deal the same way as did the Bzyantine one; that is, with a strong central government based on taxes coming from urban areas.
