this is a part of one of my papers about Dezfoul where i used mentioned Ref.
according to ‘The Cambridge History of Iran’ ‘Sasanid Empire’ (226-651 A.D.) gave a great attention to Khuzestan by construction of a massive irrigation system (1983: 753). This irrigation system has been constructed when ‘the ancient Persian tradition of large scale hydraulic engineering was combined with the unique Roman experience in masonry’ (Yarshater, 1983: 563). This combination and the new technology in irrigation system were based on Persia-Rome war. Persia- Rome war after long time in the early 3rd century was finished, when Shapur inflicted a great defeat on the Roman army, and captivated the emperor Valerian. Large numbers of Roman prisoners were settled by Shapur in Khuzestan, where they built extensive irrigation system in Shushtar, Dizfoul and Karkheh (Frye, 1953: 43).

Thanks Marc. There's in fact nothing Roman in this house. The stories are about the bridge which is seen outside the house. The door in the house is a new addition.
The open terrace of the historic Mostofi House with the picturesque view of Shadorvan (from my previous post).

Thank you very much Reza for the information.
Is this two different architectural styles? The door on the left doesn't look Roman.
Good composition on photo.

Great positioning on the columns. Neat structure.
