Djamasp
Djamasp (also transcribed as Jamasp or Zamasp) was a Sassanid king who ruled from 496-498. He was a younger brother of king Kavadh I and was installed on the Sassanid throne upon the deposition of the latter by members of the nobility.
Not much is known about Jamasp himself and his name occurs only in conjunction with his short interregnum. Byzantine accounts of the episode (Jashua the Stylite and Procopius) mention that Kavadh was deposed because of his determination to spread a new "religion" that preached redistribution of property. Following Kavadh's deposition and subsequent imprisonment, Jamasp was elected to succeed his brother.
