The Bavandian dynasty is one of the most important dynasties ruling Tabarestan. They ruled for more than seven centuries at their headquarters in Shahriarkuh. During this period, this dynasty was divided into the branches of Kayusiyya, Ispahbadhiyya and Kinkhwariyya. One of the most important actions of the first branch of the Bavandians, i.e. Kayusiyya, was the minting of the phrase "Ali Waliullah" on their coins. Therefore, the main issue in this study is to investigate the causes and factors of multiplication of the phrase "Ali Waliullah" on the Bavandian coins. In this research, using historical sources and numismatic studies and relying on descriptive-analytical method, the multiplication of the phrase "Ali Waliullah" on the Bavandian coins has been studied and analyzed. The results of the research indicate that the themes of Rostam ibn Shervin and Marzban ibn Rostam coins have been set in two directions in order to legitimize the government. On the one hand, the phrase "Ali Waliullah" and on the other hand, the name of the Abbasid Caliph are inserted. We can speak of two legitimizing currents: 1) Gaining legitimacy from outside the Bavandians realm. 2) Gaining legitimacy within the territory of Bavandians. In this way, the coins present a legitimate image of Rostam ibn Shervin which is in line with the beliefs of the people. They also seek the legitimacy from the sides of the Abbasid Caliph and the Amir of the Buyid.

With the establishment of the Ismaili government in central Alborz in Alamut, a new neighboring power for the local and archaic communities in Mazandaran emerged that affected the regional power and territorial sovereignty of this local dynasty. This article answers the question of what factors influenced the relationship between the two local powers? The results show that the political and religious struggles of  these two governments in the fifth to seventh centuries AH created more relations based on competition and hostility between them. The evolution of relations between these two governments was influenced by different factors and conditions. These factors included the desire to expand or retain territory, ideological and religious differences, the influence of  third powers such as the Seljuks and Mongols, the asylum seeking of the members of  ruling family, and the use of Ismaili opposition killing policy. The present article seeks to highlight these factors using a descriptive-analytical approach to provide a more detailed and coherent perspective on the relationship between these two important regional powers in the fifth to seventh centuries AH.
