Thanks for the history lesson!<br>
So you are Zoroastrian, I just assumed you would be Muslim. Is Zoroastrianism allowed in Iran today? I know the Islamic world does not like religious freedom! I have an interest in the Roman and Persian army during the 3rd century AD. I know that the Romans began using heavy cataphacts, exact copies of the Persian. You have my interest kindled on the Byzantine cavalry! I will look into some of my books tonight! Yes, I know that Iran really means "Ayrian". The people of Iran have more in common with Europe(racially) than they do with their Arab neighbors(I'm an American of French/English descent and my wife says that I look Iranian!!).<br>
Thanks for the information.<br>
