Abstract

Bishapur was an early Sasanian city established by Shapur I (240–270 CE), the second king of the dynasty (224–651 CE). Archaeological excavations, begun in the middle of the nineteenth century, revealed numerous structures in the city, but the functions attributed to them are in doubt. Among the Sasanian buildings discovered is an obscure—in terms of form and location—structure usually identified as a gate or summer house. Based on a survey of its construction and analysis of its location and surroundings, this article argues that it is not likely a city gate, fortification gate, or summer house. This research indicates two main Sasanian construction phases. The original structure shows precise axial correspondence with the passage to the palace zone. This fact and analysis of its original architectural form suggests that this building was in fact constructed as a triumphal arch.
比沙普尔的萨珊凯旋门
比沙普尔是萨珊王朝的第二任国王沙普尔一世(公元240-270年)建立的早期萨珊城市。19世纪中叶开始的考古发掘,揭示了这座城市的许多建筑,但它们的功能尚存疑问。在被发现的萨珊王朝建筑中,有一座从形式和位置上看都很模糊的建筑,通常被认为是一座大门或避暑别墅。本文通过对其建筑的调查和对其位置和周围环境的分析,认为它不太可能是城门、防御工事门或避暑别墅。这项研究表明了萨珊王朝的两个主要建设阶段。原来的结构与通往宫殿区域的通道呈精确的轴向对应关系。这一事实和对其原始建筑形式的分析表明,这座建筑实际上是作为凯旋门建造的。
