Veh-Ardashir (also spelled as Beh-Ardashir and Weh-Ardashir), was an ancient

Sasanian city in present-day Iraq, and formed a suburb of their capital, Ctesiphon

.

History

Originally known as

Patriarch of the Church of the East

.
In the Talmud, it is written as Ardashir, located across the Tigris from the city of Ctesiphon.^[1]
The city was walled and was circular by design.^[2]
A governor
flooding occurred in Veh-Ardashir, which divided the city in two. This resulted in a decline of the city, and the abandonment of many parts of the city. During the reign of king Khosrow II (590-628), a palace was constructed near a garden named Bagh-i Hinduvan (meaning "the garden of the Indians"). In 636, Veh-Ardashir was captured by the Arab general Khalid ibn Urfuta during the Muslim conquest of Persia
