		The religion of Persia itself was Zoroastrianism, and the unity of Persia may be attributed in part to the unifying effect of that broadly established faith.
		After Alexander the Great’s death, Persia fell for the most part to Seleucus I and his successors (the Seleucids), but their grasp on the vast territories was weak administratively, although they did introduce a vital Hellenistic culture, mingling Greek with Persian elements.
		Ardashir I, Shapur I, and Shapur II all were strong kings, able and successful opponents of the Romans.

		With the fragmentation of the Timurid Empire, and the subsequent extension of control over western Persia to the Horde of the Black Sheep, the region between the Persian Gulf and the Zagros Mountains fell into the hands of the Musha'aha'ids.
		A Shiite millenarian movement, the chiefs of the Musha'sha'ids proclaimed themselves to be the Manifestation or Precursor to the Expected One (the hoped-for successor to the line of Shite religious leaders) - and on a less spiritual level they provided governance and defence against the Turkoman Hordes who dominated western Iran in the 15th century.

	Media, Persia, Parthia, & Iran
		A much larger and more vigorous Zoroastrian community is found in the refuge of India, where it is still known by the Middle Persian word for Persian, "Parsi." The Parsis, however, do not accept converts, and the intermarriage of community members outside of India has resulted in a decline in their numbers.
		While the official religion of Sassanid Persia was Zoroastrianism, there was also a Christian community, whose line of Patriarchs "of the East" continues to the present, and refugee pagans were accepted from the increasing intolerance of Christian Rome.
		Most noteworthy in that respect were the last Scholarch of Plato's Academy, Damascius, and his colleague Simplicius, who fled after the Emperor Justinian closed the Academy in 529.

		Ptolemy III is succeeded (Dec.) by Ptolemy IV Philopator (to 204)
		The inference that this campaign resulted in the defeat of the powerful Kushan Empire is supported by the further statement of at-Tabari that the king of the Kushans was among the eastern sovereigns, such as the rulers of Turan (Quzdar, south of modern Quetta) and of Mokran (Makran), whose surrender was received by Ardashir.
		Coins thus exist showing Ardashir together with his son as heir apparent and Shapur alone wearing the eagle cap, indicating the exercise of royal rule before his coronation--besides the normal series of Shapur crowned as king.

	Persian Empire
		Ardashir I, the conqueror of the Parthians, was succeeded by Shapur I. Shapur I expanded the empire, adding parts of Iraq, the whole of modern Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Arabian Peninsula.
		The Romans still tried to include some of the Middle East into their own area, and coupled with a revolt by the Kushans in the Northeast, the Sassanian Empire was put under a strain.

	Aksum - Chs. 6-10. by Dr. Stuart Munro-Hay.
		The idea has been advanced that the tiara was worn by the Aksumite king in his capacity of `king of kings', whilst the headcloth would indicate his position as the `king of the Aksumites' only.
		Possibly the status of the rulers, already enhanced by the regalia and the impressive setting supplied by the palaces, was further emphasised by the requirement of the prostration from Aksumite subjects, as had become the custom in the newly recast Roman monarchy of Diocletian and Maximian (Williams 1985: 111) and had long prevailed in Persia.
		It may be expected that already in Aksumite times some of the familiar trappings of African kingship (and indeed of kingship in other places) may have been in use in Aksum as they were in later times in Ethiopia.
