		The dynasty was founded by – and took its name from – Ya'qub bin Laith as-Saffar, a man of humble origins who rose from an obscure beginning as a coppersmith (saffar) in eastern Iran.
		By the time of his death, he had conquered Khorasan (thus ending that region's Tahirid dynasty) as well as parts of northern India and western Iran, nearly reaching Baghdad.

	Abbasids
		Despite the Arab origins of the dynasty and the use of Arabic as the official language, the Arabs quickly lost the political and social superiority they had retained under the Umayyads; political prestige was increasingly determined by one's standing with the ruler.
		The founding of the Tahirid dynasty in 820 in Khurasan by al-Ma'mun's Persian general Tahir inspired others with similar aspirations; although this dynasty and the ones that followed it recognized the suzerainty of the Abbasids, they effectively eroded Abbasid authority in Persia.
		Meanwhile, the Bedouin Hamdanid dynasty was established in Syria and northern Iraq, and the Shi`ite Buyid dynasty came to power in western Persia.

		The Rada Project focuses on bathing facilities, so-called hammams, which are associated with mosques from the period of the Tahirid dynasty (AD 1454-1517) in the Yemeni town of Rada.
		One of the crucial questions is whether or not the hammams were actually constructed by the Tahirid mosque builders, or whether already existing hammams were incorporated into the mosque complexes — which seems to be the case in at least two examples.
		In these instances, then, it was the hammam which determined the site of the — later — Tahirid mosque, and the presence of the water source dictated the location of the hammam in the first place.
