The Arts of Royalty in Sasanian Iran
This lecture explores concepts of kingship and their visual expression
in the arts: Kingship in ancient Iran has a long history that drew
from the royal arts of Assyria to express empire. Achaemenid kings
in succession developed these conceptual representations brilliantly,
contributing to visual expressions of kingship in Sasanian Iran, which in turn
influenced later expressions of piety and power in the Islamic world and beyond.
