New Administrative System
"There are going to be some changes around here…"The Parthian model of governance was very laissez-faire, with numerous satrapies swearing loyalty to the Parthian monarch but acting almost entirely independently, only feeding back support and wealth to the Arsacid rulers. Whilst the satraps invariably rose as one to fight when called upon, the Parthian system allowed the high noble families to exercise vast control over the empire and the Arsacid kings. Ardashir I, the first Sassanid king, placed greater emphasis on the role of the state across the empire. He settled new cities in his name, and renamed old provinces, populating them with his own people. In this way, he created regional headquarters for central administration, pushing his ideology and doctrines across the empire in a more stratified manner.
