| Additional information |
Wahram I ruled for just three years before dying — likely of natural causes, though the sources are thin — leaving behind a reign defined more by religious politics than military ambition. He backed the Zoroastrian high priest Kartir in the systematic persecution of Manichaeans, culminating in the execution of Mani himself in 274 or 276 AD, depending on the source. The coinage from this reign is accordingly scarce by sheer arithmetic of time.
