Note: This issue reflects a period of internal consolidation and strong royal ideology. Bahram II’s reign is notable for emphasizing dynastic legitimacy and religious authority, particularly through close association with Zoroastrian institutions. This era highlights the importance of royal imagery and state religion in reinforcing power, as the Sasanian Empire maintained stability while facing pressures along its eastern and western frontiers.
