Samsam - I like your choice of pictures, but please tell me about the silver plate with ? Ahura Mazda? holding a lion in each hand and standing on a third lion. Which museum is it in? Can you tell me any more about it?
Also, I have to tell you something else - best wishes, Julianna
Something else: that picture of Chosroes (Khosru) is not Roman but ROMANESQUE - 12th century! It isn't a drawing but an enamel. It isn't in Constantinople but in the Louvre, Paris. Best wishes, Julianna
Julianna;
thx for the feedback on Byzantine "enamel". Learned a new word :). As for the silver plate, it,s most probably the Khosru II the victorious as for the choice of star in his crown & his features.

The only other sassanid monarch with star in the crown was Hormuzd V but his nose dont match the one on the plate ;). As for the museum I cant be sure but possibly Hermitage in Moscow.
Cheers & best wishes !!!
