Which title became regularised during the reign of Hormizd I, Shapur I's son?
"King of Kings of Iranians and non-Iranians"
"Emperor of East and West"
"Defender of Iran"
"Protector of the Faith"
Answer
"King of Kings of Iranians and non-Iranians," a title regularized under Hormizd I, represented a shift from the earlier title "King of Kings of the Aryans." This change reflected a broader geopolitical transformation. While the Sasanian Empire traditionally emphasized its Iranian roots, Hormizd I's adoption of this new title signaled a more inclusive approach, encompassing both Iranian and non-Iranian subjects.
