Years: 224 - 224
Artabanus, in a second attempt to destroy Ardashir, meets his opponent in battle at Hormozgan, near the modern city of Bandar Abbas, where the Parthian army is completely defeated, and Artabanus is killed.
According to one account, Ardashir and Artabanus fought in close combat on horseback.
Ardashir pretended to flee, turned around in the saddle and shot Artabanus through the heart.
This ends the four-hundred-year rule of the Arsacid Dynasty.
Following the death of the Parthian ruler, Ardashir I goes on to invade the western provinces of the now defunct Parthian Empire.
