Khosrow I Anushirvan

512 CE579 CE · Ctesiphon

Khosrow I Anushirvan (reigned 531–579 CE) is regarded as the greatest Sasanian king, presiding over a golden age of the empire. He overhauled taxation and administration, reorganized the army under four regional commanders, and restored order after the Mazdakite upheavals. A noted patron of learning, he expanded the academy at Gondishapur into a major center of medicine and translation, gathering Greek, Syriac, and Indian knowledge.
