Not only is this totally not true, it is also an object lesson in the (mis)use of medieval history - talking about Byzantine (or Eastern Roman) architecture without ever mentioning Byzantium (or the Eastern Roman Empire).

This sort of a billboard would be impossible few months ago. It is fascinating how history can be of use when you least expect it. For the reference, the image refers to a monumental Naqsh-e Rostam rock relief of Roman emperor Valerian kneeling before Sassanian shah Shapur.
