last pre-Islamic Iranian empire (224–651 AD)
The Sasanian Empire was the last major Persian dynasty to rule Iran before Islam, lasting from 224 to 651 AD. It matters because it was one of history's most powerful civilizations, rivaling Rome and shaping the culture, politics, and religion of the Middle East and Central Asia for over four centuries.
