With the Sassanian leader Ardashir (Artaxerxes) of Persia expanding his power, Artabanus V of Parthia took an army against his dangerous neighbour. But on the Plain of Hormizdagan (location unknown), he was defeated and killed. Ardashir crushed Parthia and took the title Shah of Shahs. He and his son and successor Shapur then led a campaign of conquest to build the 420-year Sassanian Empire.
