It lasted until 651 AD when it was overthrown by the Islamic conquests. The Sassanian Empire is considered one of the leading powers of its time, alongside its rival, the Roman-Byzantine Empire.This empire was known for its significant achievements in culture, military, and politics. The Sassanians made great advances in art, science, medicine, and engineering. The state religion was Zoroastrianism, but the Sassanians were also known for their tolerance of other religions, a practice that helped maintain internal stability.Bahram V, one of the most well-known Sassanian kings, reigned from 420 to 438 AD. Known also as Bahram Gur, he is often portrayed as a hero in Persian literature and is the protagonist of many stories in the famous book of Persian poems, the Shahnameh. Bahram V is noted for his love of the outdoors and hunting, as well as for his patronage of music and the arts. His reign was marked by a relatively peaceful time and prosperity in the empire. He is also remembered for his campaign against the Kidarites (a clan of the Huns) and for his efforts to maintain the stability of the empire amidst various external and internal pressures.
