Abarsam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock relief of Ardashir I receiving the ring of kingship by the Zoroastrian supreme god Ahura Mazda. The figure behind Ardashir I has been suggested to be Abarsam.[1]

Abarsam (Middle Persian: Apursām) was a high-ranking officer in Sasanian Iran, who served as the minister (wuzurg framadar) of king Ardashir I (r. 224–242).[2]
