从塞琉古帝国的衰落开始，学者们注意到王权实践的变化表现在出现了一种被描述为基于伊朗和希腊或希腊化实践混合的统治者崇拜。伊朗本土的王权思想和（“琐罗亚斯德教”）宗教与希腊和希腊化思想的混合是理解亚历山大大帝到来后中亚统治实践的关键。Chorasmia传统上并不是这场对话的一部分：在这里，由于亚历山大从未访问过该地区，希腊文化的遗迹相当稀少，伊朗王权在塞琉古王朝后的转变问题变得微妙起来。然而，在公元前世纪中期至公元世纪中期，阿克查汗-卡拉的仪式建筑群的最新发现表明，在这一地区也有新的统治实践。本文探讨了这些新的想法的背景下，不断变化的做法，在整个伊朗东部，高加索和中亚的王权。
Starting from the fall of the Seleucid Empire, scholars have noted changes to the practice of kingship manifest in the emergence of what has been described as a ruler cult based on a blending of Iranian and Greek or Hellenistic practices. The mix of indigenous Iranian ideas of kingship and (“Zoroastrian”) religion with Greek and Hellenistic ideas is key to understanding the practice of Central Asian rulership after the arrival of Alexander the Great. Chorasmia has not traditionally been part of this conversation: here the issue of a post-Seleucid transformation of Iranian kingship is nuanced by the fact that Alexander never visited the region, and the remains of Hellenism are rather scant. Nevertheless, the most recent findings at the mid 1st century BC – mid 1st century AD Ceremonial Complex at Akchakhan-kala suggest new practices of rule also in this region. This paper examines these new ideas against the background of changing practices in kingship across eastern Iran, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
