Abstract
Khosrow Anushirvan has been considered a model of royal ethics and justice in Iranian literature of the middle period and literary texts. Khosrow Anushirvan known as dadgar had brought about security and prosperity in the country. This article describes Anushirvan's justice within the framework of the theory of virtue -justice and is based on Iranian literature and Middle Persian Zoroastrian texts. This research aims to answer two questions: First, considering the rich history of ethics in ancient Iran, can we find advice in the Pahlavi teachings of Anoushirvan? The second, is the concept of justice as attributed to Anushirvan in Persian texts an equivalent in Middle Persian texts?
