The answer of |
marks the apogee
My comment:
"The era of Abbas the Great marks the apogee of the Safavid dynasty."
My references:
For "segna" & "apogeo": https://www.wordreference.com/iten/apogeo?s=segna%20l%27apogeo%20de :
segnare: to mark (etc.)
apogeo (figurato) (= apice, punto culminante): ***apogee***, height, acme, pinnacle
---
https://context.reverso.net/traduction/italien-anglais/segna+l%27apogeo+de :
"Il 28 maggio segna l'apogeo dell'opposizione al colpo di stato."
= "May 28 ***marks the apogee of*** the opposition to the coup."
" Gli inizi dello Statismo (^) Il "pontificato trionfale [di Innocenzo III] segna non solo un apogeo [per il papato] ma anche un punto di svolta.""
= "The beginnings of Statism (^) The "triumphal pontificate [of Innocent III] ***marks not only an apogee [for*** the papacy] but also a turning point.""
Similarly: " Questa forma d'arte ***rappresenta l'apogeo dell'arte*** confuciana coreana."
= "This art form ***represents the apogee of*** Korean Confucian art."

This was the first choice of two good automatic translators:

Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_the_Great :
"Shāh Abbās the Great or Shāh Abbās I of Persia (Persian: شاه عباس بزرگ; 27 January 1571 – 19 January 1629) was the 5th Safavid Shah (king) of Iran, and ***is generally considered the strongest ruler of the Safavid dynasty***."
and
"Although Abbas would ***preside over *the apex of* Iran's military, political and economic power***, he came to the throne during a troubled time for the Safavid Empire."
---
The apex = the highest point, like the apogee, the pinnacle, etc.
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/apogee :
"1.
a. **Astronomy**: The point **in an orbi** around the planet Earth where the orbiting body is farthest from the planet.
b. The analogous point in an orbit around a celestial body other than Earth. Not in technical use.
2. ***The farthest or highest point; the apex***:
"The golden age of American sail, which began with the fast clipper ships in 1848, ***reached its apogee in*** the Gold Rush years" (Los Angeles Times)."
See also https://www.thefreedictionary.com/pinnacle :
1. **Architecture**: A small turret or spire **on a roof** or buttress.
3. The highest point; the culmination. See Synonyms at summit.
---
=> you can use metaphors for "the highest point" coming from architecture, astronomy, etc, but "apogee" is usually used to describe the highest point in eras.
