From a Pahlavi inscription we learn that Bahram I was the son (not, as the Greek authors and Tabari say, the grandson) of Shapur I Of Persia (241–272)., and succeeded his brother Hormizd I Of Persia (272–273), who had only reigned a year. Bahram I is the king who, by the instigation of the Magian s, put to a cruel death the prophet Mani , the founder of Manichaeism . Nothing else is known of his reign. The name Bahram comes from '' Varahrän '', the younger form of the old '' Verethragna '', the name of the ancient Persian God of Victory, and "the killer of the Dragon Verethra ". Bahram is also the Persian name for the planet Mars . REFERENCES |
