Frescoes in Ganjali Khan Bazzar, Kerman, Iran

The third relief regards the victory of Shapur I over the Roman emperors. The body of Shapur I is carved in the center of the scene, and the angel of victory grants him with the special ribbon for kingdom. Between the legs of Shapur I’s horse, has fallen the dead body of Gordianos III, and before the horse, the other Roman emperor, Phillip the Arab, is seen kneeling and begging for mercy. Shapur has been depicted riding a horse while holding Valerian’s hand as captive. Ahead of Shapur and next to Philip the Arab, two people are standing, one of whom wearing a long Iranian hat, and the other, dressed in the Roman style, giving out the victory ring to the king.
