Abstract

The political structure of the Parthian government, the cultural diversity in the Parthian society, along with the particular religious’ approach of the Parthian kings and the successive Roman invasions of the western borders of the Parthian Empire, generally created critical conditions in Iranian society in the second and early third centuries, In such circumstances, Ardeshir Babakan from a religious family in the province of Persia, succeeded in providing the cause for the fall of the Parthian government and during two years of continuous political and military activities, transferred the country's political power from the Parthian family to the Sassanid family. Ardeshir's ability to transfer power from the legitimate kings of the country to his family, which was due to his correct understanding of the critical situation of society, on the one hand, and overcoming political, military, religious and social crises and disorders by having some personality traits and characteristics. And his behavior makes it possible to explain Ardeshir's personality and performance in the form of the theory of the charismatic leader Max Weber. Thus, the main issue of this research is to explain the personality of Ardeshir Babakan in the form of Max Weber's charismatic theory. Studies show that in addition to Ardeshir's personality and behavioral characteristics, the social and political conditions of the society could have paved the way for the emergence of a new leadership with a new ideology in the country. The findings of this study indicate that Ardashir I Sassanid with all personality traits, by taking some measures and with special attention to the Zoroastrian religion and the design of a new discourse of unity of religion and state to resolve political and social crises in society and finally aside. Taking over the government and choosing a suitable successor can be a charismatic leader. The research method in this article, according to its sociological approach, is to describe and analyze the data in the framework of "Charisma Theory" and to recognize the dimensions of personal, family, political and historical personality of Ardeshir Babakan in the framework of this theory
