We talk about the lives and times of the kings and queens of the Sasanian Dynasty, who ruled West Asia between 226-651 CE. The progeny of Ardashir I put in place an imperial administrative system that was emulated through the early 20th century. Who were they? How did they come to power, controlled a vast empire that at one point ruled over 25% of the world's population, and how did they disappear from the pages of history? We will discuss these and much more in this podcast.
