چکیده:
Queen Āzarmīgduxt was the last queen from the Sasanid dynasty who ruled Ērānšahr during the 7th century CE. In this paper
we intend to review her life and her decision to revive the memory of her father Khusro the Second (Parwez). One of Āzarmīgduxt’s
actions was to mint coins with the image of her father, but her own name. In this paper, we propose a new theory about Āzarmīgduxt’s
decision to do so. The paper concludes with an analysis of the reasons behind Āzarmīgduxt’s assassination by a group of Arsacid
nobility Spāhbed Farrox-Hormizd and his son, Rustam ī Farroxzādān.

Sh. Shahbazi discusses the importance of the last Sasanian female ruler Āzarmīgduxt, whose reign in many ways signaled the end of dynastic power and legitimacy in late antique Iran.
The last woman from the house of Sāsān to sit on the throne of Ērānšahr or the Kingdom of the Iranians was Queen Āzarmīgduxt, the daughter of Khusro Parwēz and the sister of queen Bōrān.
The other possibility is that since Queen Āzarmīgduxt ruled for a very short time, she did not have time to mint coins with her image.
Therefore reason such an innovation, that is the placing of her father's image by the queen, was that by the time of her rule the gender of the ruler was not so important in comparison to the relation to the royal house of Sāsān and most importantly to Khusro Parwez, the last real and legitimate king of kings of Ērānšahr the restoration of whose image was first attempted by her sister, Queen Bōrān.
A gold coin of queen Bōrān suggests this attempt at the restoration, return, or re-establishment of the legitimacy of Khusro Parwēz and the house of Sāsān.
