or Sssnian dynasty Persian dynasty (AD 224-651). Founded by Ardashr I (r. AD 224-241) and named for his ancestor Ssn ( 1st century AD), it replaced the Parthian empire (see Parthia). Its capital was Ctesiphon. The dynasty battled the Roman Republic and Empire and its successor the Byzantine Empire in the west and the Kushns and Hephthalites in the east throughout much of its existence. In the 3rd century its empire stretched from Sogdiana and Georgia to northern Arabia, and from the Indus River to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Traditions of the Achaemenian dynasty were revived, Zoroastrianism was reestablished as the state religion, and art and architecture experienced a renaissance. Its important rulers included Shpr I (d. 272), Shpr II (309-379), Khosrow I, and Khosrow II. The Ssnids were the last native Persian dynasty before the Arab conquest of the region in the late 7th century
