  • When the empire of Alexander the Great broke apart in the fourth century BCE, Persia fell under the control of the Seleucids who held power for several centuries. But then the Parthians came down from the North during the last century BCE, and set up the Arsacid Dynasty. They then spent the next few hundred years wrestling with Rome for control of the area covered by Armenia and Syria. Then in 226 CE, the Persians revolted and put in their own dynasty. The result was the Sassinid Dynasty beginning with Ardashir I. As Constantine would do a hundred years later, Ardashir sought to unite the developing Sassinid Empire with a common official religion. However he chose Zoroasterianism with himself as the Godhead.
