Armenia (Empire Divided) Governance Tier 5

Vigorous Administration

After a period of civil war, the Sassanids overthrew the Parthians and in AD 224 Ardashir was crowned the first Sassanid ruler of Persia. In the following years, he proceeded to consolidate his power by quelling local rebellions and expanding his territory. As the dust settled, it was apparent that the new empire required a bureaucratic system of considerable complexity. Provincial governors, counsellors, judges, accountants, simple scribes – all these offices had to be held by people who were as diligent as they were loyal. Zoroastrian priests played a special and prominent role in the administrative hierarchy too, as evidenced by discovered seals dating from Sassanid times.
