Abstract

Power shift in Iran which resulted in taking over of Iranian throne by Ardašīr I (224-242) changed the situation of Ḥaṭrā. Below considerations are an attempt to analyze economic, political and first of all military factors which allowed capturing the city in 240/241 by the Sasanian army.
