Reishahr
Reishahr (Template:Langx) or Rev Ardashir (Script error: No such module "Lang".) was a city on the Persian Gulf in medieval Iran and is currently an archaeological site near Bushehr. It may be identical to the Antiochia-in-Persis of the Seleucid period, but was refounded by Ardashir I (d.AD224), the first ruler of the Sasanian Empire. In the Church of the East, it was seat of the metropolitan bishop of the province of Fars from at least 424.Template:Sfn The name "Rew-Ardashir" means "Rich is Ardashir".Template:Sfn
The city is mentioned by many historians, such as Farhang-i Anandraj, Hamdollah Mostowfi's Nuzhat al-Qulub, Majmal al-tawarikh, and Ibn Balkhi's Farsnameh. In particular, some historians such as Yaqut al-Hamawi's Mu'jam Al-Buldan write of the city being centered on a pre-Islamic academic center of higher learning where scholars converged to study medicine as well as Indian and Greek sciences.[1]
Dehkhoda dictionary mentions that the city was eventually deserted and its inhabitants moved to Bushehr.
