Reishahr

Reishahr (ری شهر) was a city in Fars province in ancient Sassanid Persia.

Located in the Arjan (ارجان) region, the city was also called Riu-Ardashir (ریو اردشیر).

The city is mentioned by many a historian, such as Farhang-i Anandraj, Hamdollah Mostowfi's Nuzhat al-Qulub, Majmal al-tawarikh, and Ibn Balkhi's Farsnameh.

In particular, some historians such as Yaqut al-Hamawi's Mu'jam Al-Buldan write of the city being centered on a pre-Islamic academic center of higher learning where scholars converged to study medicine as well as Indian and Greek sciences.

Dehkhoda dictionary mentions that the city was eventually deserted and its inhabitants moved to Bushehr.
