<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2271318, member: 26302&quot;]I didn&#039;t see anyone else correct the OP so I will, its actually Khusro II.</p><p><br /></p><p>About Khusro II; the reason the coins are so common is he was in the process of taking over the world. He about had the Byzantines defeated. They were about to sign a peace treaty subjugating themselves to Persia after losing Egypt, the Levant, and other territory. Then he got cocky, and was jealous of the success one of his Parthian noble generals was having. He instructed another Parthian noble general to kill the first one, but forgot he was his cousin. So the two Parthian generals turned on Khusro and killed him. Right at this time the Arabs started to invade from the SW, the reinvigorated Byzantines invaded from the NW, and it really was the end of the Sassanid empire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
