The only evidence of a cult appears in the first century account of [[Strabo]], who reports, probably on authority of [[Nearchus]], that the [[Carmania (region)|Carmanians]] worshipped a divinity of victory (''Geographika'', 15.2.14). That this was Bahramb / Verethragna is unlikely if, as per Strabo, he was their "only god."{{Citation needed|date=April 2015}} However, the account does reveal that divinities of war were known to the people who were not of the Iranian plateau, evidence for which also comes from [[Herodotus]] (4.59.62).

カルマニア人が勝利の神（Geographika, 15.2.14）を崇拝していたという唯一の証拠は、1世紀のストラボの記述に現れている（おそらくネアルコスによる）。ストラボが言うように、バフラム／ヴェレストラグナが彼らの「唯一の神」であったとすれば、これがバフラム／ヴェレストラグナである可能性は低い<sup>''要出典、April 2015''</sup>。。しかし、この記述から、イラン高原以外の人々にも戦争の神々が知られていたことがわかる。その証拠に、ヘロドトス（4.59.62）にもその記述がある。
Under the [[Seleucid Empire|Seleucids]] (330–150 BCE) and [[Parthia|Arsacids]] (250 BCE–226 CE), that is, in the Empires influenced by Hellenic culture, ''Verethragna'' was both identified as [[Ares]] and associated with [[Heracles]], and given the Greek name ''Artagnes''.{{sfn|Duchesne-Guillemin|1984}} This syncretism is well attested in statuary and iconography, most notably in that of the inscription of [[Antiochus I Theos of Commagene]], in which all three names occur together.
