Naqsh-e Rostam - Stone Reliefs

Naqsh-e Rostam, Iran

On the left - The triumph of Shapur I - relief (c. 241-272) depicting Shapur I (on horseback, wearing royal armour and a crown) with three Roman Emperors.


On the right - the two equestrian reliefs of Bahram II (c. 276-293).
This equestrian relief, located immediately below the tomb of Darius I, is divided into two registers, an upper and a lower one.
In the upper register, the king appears to be forcing a Roman enemy from his horse.
In the lower register, the king is again battling a mounted Roman soldier.
Both reliefs depict a dead enemy under the hooves of the king's horse.
Next to Bahram, his standard bearer is visible.
