Lakhmids Civil Tier 2

Centralised Authority

"What's yours is mine. That is to say, 'ours'…"

The Romans looked on the Parthians, ancestors of the Sassanids, as not one state but more of a confederation, with Pliny identifying eighteen separate kingdoms under the Parthian banner. Although Parthia was arguably more unified than Rome thought, their system of administration was fragmented, with decisions made on an individual basis. Conversely, Sassanid Persia had a much more hierarchical structure to its governance. Although decisions were still made on a per-satrapy basis, the infrastructure of the state ensured everything was in keeping with Sassanid ideals. Notably, the judges upheld an overarching law; in particular, the 'hamarkars' ensured that levied taxes flowed into the royal coffers.
