<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1658120, member: 26302&quot;]Tabaristan is interesting. Did you know coins from Tabaristan are basically historical proof of how the Sassanid empire fell? They were issued by a powerful Parthian family. The Parthians finally had enough of the house of Sasan, and made a side deal with the Arabs. As a reward, they were allowed to strike their own coins for a period of time after the fall of Sassanid Persia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone interested in this time period, I would highly recommend &quot;Decline and Fall of the Sassanid Empire&quot;. Great stuff, (boy am I a geek).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
