<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 7934357, member: 81887&quot;]The best recent book on Sasanian history that I know of is &quot;Sasanian Persia: The Rise and Fall of an Empire&quot; by Touraj Daryaee.&nbsp; An older but still useful book (and a pleasure to read, if you like Victorian prose) is George Rawlinson&#039;s &quot;The Seventh Great Oriental Monarchy&quot; (he also wrote a book on the Parthians titled, predictably, &quot;The Sixth Great Oriental Monarchy&quot;). An original 19th-century printing may be hard to find, but there is an inexpensive modern reprint; both the reprint and the Daryaee book are available on Amazon and other major book sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also worthwhile is the essay on Sasanian history and coins by Khodadad Rezakhani in the Sunrise Collection book. It nicely summarizes both the history of each reign and major features of the coinage, illustrated with the coins of the Sunrise collection which features many gorgeous rarities.&nbsp; There are usually copies of the Sunrise collection available from VCoins sellers or other numismatic book sellers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
