Pahlavi inscriptions

Pahlavi inscriptions are ancient texts written in the Pahlavi script, used during the Sassanian Empire (3rd–7th centuries CE) in Persia. They often appear on stone tablets, coins, and monuments, conveying royal decrees, religious messages, or commemorations. The Pahlavi language is a Middle Persian tradition that reflects Zoroastrian beliefs and imperial authority. These inscriptions provide valuable insights into Sassanian culture, governance, and religion, and are studied by historians and linguists to better understand Iran's ancient history.
