| description | Abstract: The ancient Iranian cultural heritage to the Roman Empire and early
Christianism includes iconographic, symbolic and liturgical aspects. For instance,
the Iranian world manifests a strong tendency to frontal representation in artistic
work, from Scythians and Cimmerians to Parthians and Sassanians, especially in the
representation of divinities and kings. These aspects reached Syria and it is plausible
that from there they passed to North Africa and Asia Minor, and finally to Rome.
Besides the iconographical frontal disposition, a special type of throne, the radiated
nimbus and a particular round puffin were the legacy of the ancient Iranian world to
the Byzantine Empire and Medieval Western Europe. Those were symbols of power
and majesty, related to the iconography of kings and deities. In the same way, the
posture of Sassanian kings seated on their thrones, resembles those of the medieval
kings. Besides the iconographical legacy, several religious ideas of Judaism and
Christianism received the influence of Mazdean conceptions, especially those related
to the judgement of souls in the Netherworld and the eternal struggle between angels
and daemons. |
