Sassanid Infantry - Bashir - 12-14-2014
Yes i did, but only in SCRIBD.
If you wish to purchase from scribd, then you'll have to pay a certain amount of money or if you wish to purchase from Amazon then i think you don't really have a problem at all.
Oh, yes there's some books you can read to understand the military and social structures about the Sasanian society:
Iraq after Muslim Conquest by Michael G. Morony, Sasanid Soldiers in Early Muslim Society: The Origins of 'Ayyārān and Futuwwa by Mohsen Zakeri, The History of Al-Tabari: The Sasanids, the Byzantines, the Lakmids by Al-Tabari, Sasanian Persia: The Rise and Fall of an Empire by Touraj Daryaee.
However, i would like to advice you on books you should avoid:
Sassanian Elite Cavalry AD 224-642, Shadows in the Desert: Ancient Persia at War by Kaveh Farrokh, why? because the book tells nothing at all except he's trying to boast Iranian national pride than trying to explain how the Sasanian army works.

Some authors title their books like it will be about the military and then it isn't... I bet there is a Roman book out there full of pictures of windlass steelcrafts garbage telling the readers that those pieces of equipment are "authentic"...

Those are some decent suggestions Iulian.
Also, I'm afraid I have to reiterate what Jason mentioned, and advise you to put your name in your signature. If you need help doing this me or one of the other moderators would be happy to assist.

Sassanid Infantry - Bashir - 12-15-2014
Help, i need help. I don't know how to do it.
Sassanid Infantry - daryush - 12-15-2014
Iulian, do you have a copy of Morony, Zakeri, and Tabari? Would you be willing to make a PDF out of it? :-D

Iulian, you look in you profile and click EDIT and then scroll down until you find SIGNATURE. Then enter your name.
