Coat of Arms
The Parthian coat of arms is one which reflects the rich Persian culture of the Shahs of the House of Sassani. In the center, between two lions showing the Shah's power, is the crown of Parthia. In the upper left corner, the lion with a sword and a rising sun is the traditional symbol of the Persian Shahs. The Farohar in the upper right hand corner is a symbol of Zoroastrianism, the faith of Parthia and the Shah. The lower left corner displays a shamshir, displaying the military power of the Persian Shah, while the lower right corner contains a mythical bird creature found on stone reliefs in Persepolis of the Achaemenid Dynasty, showing connection to the first kings of Iran. In the center, Mount Damavand stands, the symbol of Iranian resistance against the foreign rule in Persian poems and literature.
