Upon his ascent to the throne, Khosrow did not restore power to the feudal nobility or the magi, but centralized his government.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDaryaee201429-36">[35]</a> Khosrow's reign is considered to be one of the most successful within the Sasanian Empire. The peace agreement between Rome and Iran in 531 gave Khosrow the chance to consolidate power and focus his attention on internal improvement.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDignasWinter200728-37">[36]</a> His reforms and military campaigns marked a renaissance of the Sasanian Empire, which spread philosophic beliefs as well as trade goods from the <a href="/wiki/Far_east" class="mw-redirect" title="Far east">far east</a> to the far west. The internal reforms under Khosrow were much more important than those on the exterior frontier. The subsequent reforms resulted in the rise of a bureaucratic state at the expense of the great noble families, strengthening the <a href="/wiki/Centralized_government" title="Centralized government">central government</a> and the power of the Shahanshah. The army too was reorganized and tied to the central government rather than local nobility allowing greater organization, faster mobilization and a far greater cavalry corps. Reforms in taxation provided the empire with stability and a much stronger economy, allowing prolonged military campaigns as well as greater revenues for the bureaucracy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Tax_reforms">Tax reforms</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khosrow_I&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Tax reforms">edit</a>]</div> Khosrow's tax reforms have been praised by several scholars, the most notable of whom is F. Altheim.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> The tax reforms, which were started under Kavad I and completely implemented by Khosrow, greatly strengthened the royal court.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> Prior to Khosrow and Kavad's reigns, a majority of the land was owned by <a href="/wiki/Seven_Parthian_clans" class="mw-redirect" title="Seven Parthian clans">seven Parthian families</a>: <a href="/wiki/House_of_Suren" title="House of Suren">Suren</a>, Waraz, <a href="/wiki/House_of_Karen" title="House of Karen">Karen</a>, <a href="/wiki/House_of_Ispahbudhan" title="House of Ispahbudhan">Ispahbudhan</a>, <a href="/wiki/House_of_Spandiyadh" title="House of Spandiyadh">Spandiyadh</a>, <a href="/wiki/House_of_Mihran" title="House of Mihran">Mihran</a> and Zik.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECurtisStewart2008126-39">[38]</a> These great landowners enjoyed tax exemptions from the Sasanian empire, and were tax collectors within their local provincial areas.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> With the outbreak of the Mazdakite revolution, there was a great uprising of peasants and lower-class citizens who grabbed large portions of land under egalitarian values. As a result of this there was great confusion on land possession and ownership. Khosrow surveyed all the land within the empire indiscriminately and began to tax all land under a single program. Tax revenues that previously went to the local noble family now went to the central government treasury.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> The fixed tax that Khosrow implemented created a more stable form of income for the treasury. Because the tax did not vary, the treasury could easily estimate the year's revenue.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> Prior to Khosrow's tax reforms, taxes were collected based on the yield that the land had produced. The new system calculated and averaged taxation based on the water rights for each piece of property. Lands which grew <a href="/wiki/Phoenix_dactylifera" class="mw-redirect" title="Phoenix dactylifera">date palms</a> and <a href="/wiki/Olive" title="Olive">olive trees</a> used a slightly different method of taxation based on the amount of producing trees that the land contained.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> These tax reforms of Khosrow were the stepping stone which enabled subsequent reforms in the bureaucracy and the military to take place. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Administrative_reforms">Administrative reforms</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khosrow_I&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Administrative reforms">edit</a>]</div> The hallmark of Khosrow's bureaucratic reform was the creation of a new social class. Before, the Sasanian Empire consisted of only three social classes, magi, nobles and peasants/commoners. Khosrow added a fourth class to this hierarchy between the nobles and the peasants, called the <a href="/wiki/Dehqan" title="Dehqan">dehqans</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPourshariati2008500-40">[39]</a> The dehqans were small land owning citizens of the Sasanian Empire and were considered lower nobility. Khosrow promoted honest government officials based on trust and honesty, rather than corrupt nobles and magi.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007230–230-41">[40]</a> The small landowning deghans were favored over the high nobles because they tended to be more trustworthy and owed their loyalty to the Shah for their position in the bureaucracy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDaryaee201429-36">[35]</a> The rise of deghans became the backbone of the empire because they now held the majority of land and positions in local and provincial administration.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> The reduction of power of the great families improved the empire. This was because previously, each great family ruled a large chunk of land and had their own king. The name Shahanshah, meaning King of Kings, derived from the fact that there were many <a href="/wiki/Feudalism" title="Feudalism">feudal</a> kings in Sasanian Iran with the Shahanshah as the ruler of them all. Their fall meant their power was redirected to the central government and all taxes now went to the central government rather than to the local nobility. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Military_reforms">Military reforms</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khosrow_I&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Military reforms">edit</a>]</div> Major reforms to the military made the Iranian army capable of fighting sustained wars, battling on multiple fronts, and deploy itself faster.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007229-42">[41]</a> Prior to Khosrow's reign, much like other aspects of the empire, the military was dependent on the feudal lords of the great families to provide soldiers and cavalry. Each family would provide their own army and equipment when called by the Shahanshah. This system was replaced with the emergence of the lower deghan nobility class, who was paid and provided by the central government.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> The main force of the Sasanian army was the <a href="/wiki/Aswaran" title="Aswaran">Aswaran</a> cavalry. Previously only nobles could enlist into the Aswaran cavalry which was very limited and created shortages in well trained soldiers. Now that the <a href="/wiki/Dehqan" title="Dehqan">dehqan</a> class was considered nobility, they were able to join the cavalry force and boosted the number of cavalry force significantly.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007229-42">[41]</a> The military reform focused more on organization and training of troops. The cavalry was still the most important aspect of the Iranian military, with foot archers being less important, and mass peasant forces being on the bottom of the spectrum. Khosrow made four military districts with a <a href="/wiki/Spahbed" title="Spahbed">spahbed</a>, or general, in charge of each district.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> Before the reforms of Khosrow, the general of the Iranians (<a href="/wiki/Eran-spahbed" class="mw-redirect" title="Eran-spahbed">Eran-spahbed</a>) controlled the military of the entire empire.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDaryaee2014124-43">[42]</a> The four zones consisted of Mesopotamia in the west, the <a href="/wiki/Caucasus" title="Caucasus">Caucasus</a> region in the north, the <a href="/wiki/Persian_Gulf" title="Persian Gulf">Persian Gulf</a> in the central and southwest region, and Central Asia in the east. This new quadripartition of the Empire not only created a more efficient military system but also "[administration] of a vast, multiregional, multicultural, and multiracial empire".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007229-42">[41]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Equipment">Equipment</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khosrow_I&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Equipment">edit</a>]</div> During Khosrow's reign, a "list" for equipment for the cavalry (<a href="/wiki/Aswaran" title="Aswaran">aswaran</a>) was written. The list comprised a helmet, a gorget, a chain mail shirt, a lamellar coat or cuirass, leg armour, gauntlets, sword, shield, two bows with spare strings, 30 arrows, axe or mace, and horse armour.<a href="#cite_note-Bivar_1972_271–291-44">[43]</a> Sasanian bullae showing the four spahbeds show that horses were still fully armoured during this period and heavy cavalry tactics were still used by the Sasanian cavalry. It is highly likely that the stirrup had been introduced to the Sasanian cavalry two centuries before Khosrow's reforms<a href="#cite_note-45">[44]</a> (and are mentioned in Bivar (1972)<a

Although Belisarius had greatly outnumbered the city garrison, the city was too well fortified and he was forced to <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Sisauranon_(541)" title="Siege of Sisauranon (541)">ravage the country</a> around the Nisibis, subsequently getting recalled back west.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> After <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Anglon" title="Battle of Anglon">successful campaigns</a> in Armenia, Khosrow was encouraged once again to attack Syria.

Edessa was now a much more important city than Antioch was, and the garrison which occupied the city was able to resist the siege.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> The Iranians were forced to retreat from Edessa, but were able to forge a five-year truce with the Byzantine Empire in 545.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> Three years into the five-year truce (548), rebellion against Sasanian control broke out in Lazica. In response, a Byzantine army was sent to support the people of Lazica, effectively ending the established truce and thus continuing the Lazic Wars.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> Sometime later, Khosrow, who was keen to wrest Dara from Byzantine control, and would do so even if he risked to break the truce they had made regarding Mesopotamia, tried to capture it by tricking them; he sent one of highest officials, <a href="/wiki/Izadgushasp" title="Izadgushasp">Izadgushasp</a>, as a diplomat to <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a>, but in reality the latter would stop by Dara, and with the aid of his large crew, he would seize the city. However, this plan was prevented by a former adviser of Belisarius named George, who demanded that if Izadgushasp should enter the city he should have only twenty members of his crew with him.

Through the pass at the place called Tzon and through the Caspian Gates the Persians shall not allow the Huns or Alans or other barbarians access to the Roman Empire, nor shall the Romans either in that area or on any other part of the Persian frontier send an army against the Persians. 2. The Saracen allies of both states shall themselves also abide by these agreements and those of the Persians shall not attack the Romans, nor those of the Romans the Persians. 3. Roman and Persian merchants of all kinds of goods, as well as similar tradesmen, shall conduct their business according to the established practice through the specified customs posts. 4. Ambassadors and all others using the public post to deliver messages, both those traveling to Roman and those to Persian territory, shall be honoured each according to his status and rank and shall receive the appropriate attention. They shall be sent back without delay, but shall be able to exchange the trade goods which they have brought without hindrance or any impost. 5. It is agreed that Saracen and all other barbarian merchants of either state shall not travel by strange roads but shall go by Nisibis and Daras, and shall not cross into foreign territory without official permission. But if they dare anything contrary to the agreement (that is to say, if they engage in tax-dodging, so-called), they shall be hunted down by the officers of the frontier and handed over for punishment together with the merchandise which they are carrying, whether Assyrian or Roman. 6. If anyone during the period of hostilities defected either from the Romans to the Persians or from the Persians to the Romans and if he should give himself up and wish to return to his home, he shall not be prevented from so doing and no obstacle shall be put in his way. But those who in time of peace defect and desert from one side to the other shall not be received, but every means shall be used to return them, even against their will, to those from whom they fled. 7. Those who complain that they have suffered some hurt at the hands of subjects of the other state shall settle the dispute equitably, meeting at the border either in person or through their own representatives before the officials of both states, and in this manner the guilty party shall make good the damage. 8. Henceforth, the Persians shall not complain to the Romans about the fortification of Daras. But in future neither state shall fortify or protect with a wall any place along the frontier, so that no occasion for dispute shall arise from such an act and the treaty be broken. 9. The forces of one state shall not attack or make war upon a people or any other territory subject to the other, but without inflicting or suffering injury shall remain where they are so that they too might enjoy the peace. 10. A large force, beyond what is adequate to defend the town, shall not be stationed at Daras, and the general of the East shall not have his headquarters there, in order that this not lead to incursions against or injury to the Persians. It was agreed that if some such should happen, the commander at Daras should deal with the offense. 11. If a city causes damage to or destroys the property of a city of the other side not in legitimate hostilities and with a regular military force but by guile and theft (for there are such godless men who do these things to provide a pretext for war), it was agreed that the judges stationed on the frontiers of both states should make a thorough investigation of such acts and punish them. If these prove unable to check the damage that neighbours are inflicting on each other, it was agreed that the case should be referred to the general of the East on the understanding that if the dispute were not settled within six months and the plaintiff had not recovered his losses, the offender should be liable to the plaintiff for a double indemnity. It was agreed that if the matter were not settled in this way, the injured party should send a deputation to the sovereign of the offender. If within one year the sovereign does not give satisfaction and the plaintiff does not receive the double indemnity due to him, the treaty shall be regarded as broken in respect of this clause. 12. Here you might find prayers to God and imprecations to the effect that may God be gracious and ever an ally to him who abides by the peace, but if anyone with deceit wishes to alter any of the agreements, may God be his adversary and enemy. 13. The treaty is for fifty years, and the terms of the peace shall be in force for fifty years, the year being reckoned according to the old fashion as ending with the three hundred and sixty-fifth day.</blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="War_in_the_East">War in the East</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khosrow_I&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: War in the East">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg/220px-Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="152" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg/330px-Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg/440px-Sasanian_expansion_in_the_east_under_Kavad_I_and_Khosrow_I.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="4181" data-file-height="2882" /></a><figcaption>Sasanian expansion in the east</figcaption></figure> With a stable peace agreement with the Byzantines in the west, Khosrow was now able to focus his attention on the eastern Hephthalites<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007238-57">[56]</a> and end their domination over <a href="/wiki/Central_Asia" title="Central Asia">Central Asia</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShahbazi2005-58">[57]</a> Even with the growth of Iranian military power under Khosrow's reforms, the Sasanians were still uneasy at the prospect of attacking the <a href="/wiki/Hephthalite" class="mw-redirect" title="Hephthalite">Hephthalite</a> on their own and began to seek allies.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007238-57">[56]</a> Their answer came in the form of <a href="/wiki/Turkic_peoples" title="Turkic peoples">Turkic</a> incursions into Central Asia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDaryaee201430-59">[58]</a> The movement of Turkic people into Central Asia very quickly made them natural enemies and competitors to the Hephthalites.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007238-57">[56]</a> The Hephthalites were a strong military power but they lacked the organization to fight on multiple fronts.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFarrokh2007238-57">[56]</a> The Sasanians and the <a href="/wiki/First_Turkic_Khaganate" title="First Turkic Khaganate">First Turkic Khaganate</a> made an alliance and in 557 launched a two pronged attack on the Hephthalites, taking advantage of their disorganization and disunity.

In response the wise vizier created the game backgammon and sent it to the Indian court with the same message. The Indian king was not able to solve the riddle and was forced to pay tribute.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECanepa2009181-102">[101]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Academy_of_Gondishapur">Academy of Gondishapur</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Khosrow_I&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Academy of Gondishapur">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg/170px-ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg/255px-ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg/340px-ArtworkofAnushirvanAndBorzuya.jpg 2x" data-file-width="996" data-file-height="1328" /></a><figcaption>Khosrow I and <a href="/wiki/Borzuya" title="Borzuya">Borzuya</a>, the translator of the Indian <a href="/wiki/Panchatantra" title="Panchatantra">Panchatantra</a></figcaption></figure> Khosrow I is known to have greatly expanded the <a href="/wiki/Academy_of_Gondishapur" title="Academy of Gondishapur">Academy of Gondishapur</a>, located in the city of <a href="/wiki/Gundeshapur" title="Gundeshapur">Gundeshapur</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Taylor_2010-103">[102]</a> As to the development of non-religious knowledge and research in Iran and apart from historical evidence given on such traditions in the preceding Iranian Empires, there are reports on systematic activities initiated by the Sasanian court as early as in the first decades of Sasanian rule.

The local officials and great noble families resented the fact that their power had been stripped away from them and began to quickly regain power after his death.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> Khosrow's reign had a major impact on <a href="/wiki/Islam" title="Islam">Islamic</a> culture and political life. Many of his policies and reforms were brought into the Islamic nation in their transformation from a decentralized confederation into a centralized empire.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFrye1984-38">[37]</a> There are a considerable number of Islamic works that were inspired by the reign of Khosrow I, for example the Kitab al-Taj of <a href="/wiki/Al-Jahiz" title="Al-Jahiz">Jahiz</a>.
