"Abolala Soudavar has written a very informative book, which challenges many established views and introduces many new ideas, hypotheses, and interpretations concerning symbols of legitimacy in Iran. By drawing on a large number of coins, vessels, bas-reliefs, paintings, and texts and emphasizing the visual representations of the symbols of legitimacy he has considerably widened the scope of debate on this important issue. No historian of Persian politics, religions or art can exempt himself from pondering his interpretations and innovative ideas." âEhsan Yarshater, Prof. Emeritus, Columbia University
