==== Sasanian Empire ==== The Persian tables game of nard or nardšir emerged somewhere between the 3rd and 6th century AD, one text (''Kār-nāmag ī Ardaxšēr ī Pāpakān'') linking it with [[Ardashir I]] (r. 224–41), founder of the [[Sasanian dynasty]], whereas another (''Wičārišn ī čatrang ud nihišn ī nēw-ardaxšēr'') attributes it to [[Bozorgmehr Bokhtagan]], the [[Vizier]] of [[Khosrow I|Khosrow]] (r. 531–79), who is credited with the invention of the game.<ref name="Iranica board game"/>
