The Sasanid Empire, 224–600
Politics and Society-
1.The Sasanid kingdom was established in 224 and controlled the areas of Iran and Mesopotamia. The Sasanids confronted Arab pastoralists on their Euphrates border and the Byzantine Empire on the west. Relations with the Byzantines alternated between war and peaceful trading relationships. In times of peace, the Byzantine cities of Syria and the Arab nomads who guided caravans between the Sasanid and Byzantine Empires all flourished on trade. Arabs also benefited from the invention of the camel saddle, which allowed them to take control of the caravan trade.
2. The Iranian hinterland was ruled by a largely autonomous local aristocracy that did not, however, pose a threat to the stability of the Sasanid Empire.

Egypt and Mesopotamia: Compare and contrast essay
Subject:
Compare and Contrast? Egypt and Mesopotamia There are many similarities between Egypt and Mesopotamia, but there also are many differences between them. One similarity between the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations is that they both have similar social classes. Mesopotamian social classes include kings, farmers, priests, and slaves. Egyptian social classes include kings, priests, farmers, and slaves/peasants as well. Another similarity between the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations is that they both had polytheistic religions, although it is said that the pharaoh Akhenaten of Egypt tried to introduce polytheism to his subjects but never succeeded.
