Sasanian bureaucracy

The Sasanian bureaucracy was the administrative system of the Sasanian Empire, which existed from 224 to 651 CE in Persia. It was highly organized, with a central authority vested in the king, who relied on a network of officials to manage various regions and functions. Key roles included governors, tax collectors, and legal administrators, all responsible for maintaining order and implementing the king's policies. The bureaucracy was influential in tax collection, public works, and legal matters, helping to sustain the vast empire and facilitate trade, culture, and governance throughout its territories.
