TheSasanian crowns (Persian:تاجهای ساسانی) refers to the crowns used by the monarchs of theSasanian dynasty ofIran. Each monarch had their own unique crown, and some of them had several.[1]
Many of the later Sasanian crowns were suspended by a chain of gold from the top of an arch in the audience-hall as the ruler's neck could not support the weight of the elaborate crown.[1] The later sources cite that the practice of "hanging crown" was extended to any setting in which the monarch appeared, including their deathbed. A crown was also suspended during the birth of a royal heir. TheByzantines adopted this custom from the Iranian court.[1]
