[edit] Questions

No comments, only more question marks. From the article you should conclude that Balash was crowned twice, that Spain (Iberia) and Albania were part of Iran, and where is it explained that the king of the Hephthalites once was a friend of Peroz, save for a short spell of peace? There's a difference between Hephthalites, Huns and Kushans, but that's not very clear here. I think the whole article should be rewritten by someone who is more knowledgeable about Sassanian history. Soczyczi 19:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way, the coin looks gold, but is it indeed a gold coin? I thought these are extremely rare and also smaller than this one. Soczyczi 20:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
