File:Naqsh i Rustam. Investiture d'Ardashir 1.jpg
Summary
A relief at <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Naqsh-e_Rustam" class="mw-redirect" title="Naqsh-e Rustam">Naqsh-e Rustam</a> with <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ardeshir_I&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ardeshir I (page does not exist)">Ardeshir I</a> and unidentified cavalier. This Persian rock relief depicts Ardashir I Coronation scene; the first king of the Sassanid Empire of Iran. Ardashir receives the ribboned diadem (cydaris), the symbol of kingship, from the spirit of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Darius_the_Great&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Darius the Great (page does not exist)">Darius the Great</a> of the Achaemenid dynasty.[92] Under the horse of the King Ardashir lies the last of the Parthian Kings, Artabanus. Under the horse of King Darius lies Gaumata the usurper, a Magian,. The relief of Ardashir is, therefore, the legitimization of the new Sassanian dynasty by the pre-Alexander Achaemenid dynasty. The inscription in Persian, Parthian, and Greek, reads: This is the image of the Hormizd-worshipping Majesty Ardashir, whose origin is of the gods.
