Chapter 8 argues that temple building played a key role in the Seleucids’ ambitious and successful program of claiming and reshaping the Achaemenid Empire’s political landscape. The dynasty systematically appropriated ancient cultic traditions by constructing new Seleucid temples for the cult even as they constructed innovative temples in their newly founded settlements It argues that in provinces without a deeply embedded tradition of temple architecture, or in their newly founded cities, the Seleucids introduced a new repertoire of temple architecture that deliberately blurred the lines between Greco-Macedonian and Western Asian traditions.

Chapter 12 explores the techniques by which the early Sasanian dynasty shaped Pars’ patrimony of glorious Achaemenid ruins and foregrounded its ancient artistic heritage and traditions of ritual. The built and natural environment of Pars, including Achaemenid ruins and new sites, created a vital experience of the Sasanians’ new vision of the past and their place in it.

The chapters in this section explore the intersection between political temporalities and the natural and built environments of Iranian kingship. They consider the formation, change and influence of Iranian traditions and institutions, like tombs and dynastic cults, but also the role that those institutions played in shaping Iranian memory.

Chapter 4 argues that the Arsacids, through their tenure as the Iranian world’s longest-lived dynasty, created foundational architectural and cultural forms that shaped Iranian kingship through the early modern period. While they portrayed themselves in their coins in Persian satrapal costume, the early Arsacids were equally driven to engage and reinvent the traditions of Seleucid kingship. After initially taking over the topography that the Seleucids had established, the Arsacids began to claim Western Asia landscapes, rebuilding and reinvigorating ruined urban and sacred centers, such as Assur and Nippur and establishing new cities and parallel foundations, like Ctesiphon and Vologasias. With Nippur’s ziggurat standing as an important case study, the Parthians neither obliterated nor faithfully restored these ancient cityscapes, but harnessed and strategically reshaped them to serve their new imperial vision.

Chapter 3 offer a new approach to the evidence that takes into account not just continuities with Persian practice, but also the Seleucid Empire’s breaks with Achaemenid traditions. I argue that the Seleucid Empire strategically introduced stark and deliberately instituted changes in the Iranian world’s topography of power, architecture and religious traditions to create a new vision of Iranian, though not necessarily Persian, kingship. The Seleucids’ new topography of power and visual and ritual expressions of Irano-Macedonian charismatic kingship subsumed and transcended the traditions of Persia and Babylon alike. Ultimately, they laid the groundwork for new Iranian kingship.

The Iranian Expanse has presented a new approach to understanding Iranian kingship, cosmology, and identity. Its chapters have explored the role of highly significant spaces and places in constructing, maintaining, and transforming the identity of their patrons and viewers. In the course of doing so this book has investigated the development of landscapes of power and memory, cities, sanctuaries, palaces, and paradise estates in Persia and across the wider ancient Iranian world. At these sites imperially and religiously formulated cosmologies promoted by royal elites were most explicitly and tangibly experienced. Putting ancient Iranian theories of mind and matter into dialogue with contemporary theoretical debates, I have argued that Iranian sovereigns sought to reshape the “conceptual” (Av. ...

Chapter 7 examines the problem of the architecture and spatial contexts of Achaemenid religion. It argues that the dynasty did not impose a tradition of fire temple architecture on their empire. It is important to assert this at the outset because throughout the last century scholars have repeatedly assumed the existence of- and often attempted to reconstruct- a trans-millennial tradition of Iranian temple architecture built to house a sacred, ever-burning fire in the manner of a late antique or medieval Zoroastrian fire temple, retrojecting them onto the ancient evidence. It explores the evidence we do have to understand the Achaemenid approach to temples and sacred spaces.

Chapter 6 explores the development Sasanian urbanism and the dynasty’s approach to the landscape. It argues that the Sasanians quickly and dramatically reshaped Mesopotamia and the Iranian Plateau to bring it into accord with their new imperial vision, establishing new regional settlements that controlled their surrounding agricultural hinterlands militarily and economically while expanding and restructuring the imperial cities of Seleucia-Ctesiphon. Their new cities brought new areas into prominence and rendered others cities and ceremonial centers obsolete, as well as trade networks that had depended on them. Cities played an integral role in building the Empire of the Iranians not only materially but conceptually.
