Paradan
Map of the southeastern provinces of the Sasanian Empire.
Paradan or Paratan was a province of the Sasanian Empire. It was constituted from the present-day Balochistan region, which is divided between Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Evidence from coins shows that it was located in what is now north-eastern Balochistan, centered around the town of Loralai (now in Pakistan), further east than traditionally thought.[1]
