One of the largest and most powerful Iranian empires was the long-standing Sassanid dynasty whose rule started with the ascension of Ardashir to the throne five and a half centuries after the Achaemenian Empire. The Sassanid Empire added a brilliant chapter to the history of Iran and created a rich political and social culture, the results of which became everlasting in the Iranian history. The most important factor in the stability of this empire was the officialization of Zoroastrianism and connecting this religion to politics which greatly influenced other political and social factors. One of the most reliable sources on the Sassanid political and social culture is Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh. Using an analytical-descriptive method, this study seeks to delineate the most significant political and social rituals which were common in the Sassanid period. The data are extracted from reliable history books, and then their conformity with Ferdowsi’s accounts in Shahnameh is evaluated. The results of the research show that, in terms of political culture, rituals such as the connection between religion and politics in the management of the country, the rites of coronation and ascension to the throne, and the etiquettes of appearing in the king’s court as well as, in terms of social culture, customs related to the birth, marriage, burial and mourning were the most significant rituals in the Sassanid period, which are reflected in the Shahnameh too.
