Samanid Dynasty (433 words)
Samanid Dynasty was the first native dynasty to arise in Iran after the Muslim Arab conquest.
But from the mid-10th century, Samanid power was gradually undermined, economically by the interruption of the northern trade and politically by a struggle with a confederation of nobles.
Under the loosely centralized feudal government of the Samanids, Transoxonia and Khorasan prospered, with a notable expansion of industry and commerce, attested by the use of Samanid silver coins as currency throughout southern Asia.
