Among the important concepts in Zoroastrianism, philanthropy is highly recommended and has received special attention. Philanthropy has a wide scope and dimensions, and knowing its examples, scope and mechanisms can clarify its individual, social, spiritual and cultural functions. Considering the impact of philanthropy on the morality and life of individuals and society, the explanation of this concept can clarify the perception and view of society and individuals towards it. The purpose of this article is to examine philanthropy and its dimensions in Pahlavi texts that were formalized in the Sasanian period or the first Islamic centuries. Depending on the period in which these texts were written, it is possible to learn about the definitions and activities of individuals, religious institutions and the state apparatus in this field, which required interaction between them. Studies show that the interests of the individual and the family, the community and the religious community were taken into account in the discussion of philanthropy.

The Sasanian settlements located Persian Gulf shores proving the economic-political sovereignty of Iran over the Persian Gulf through preislamic era denotes commercial relations between Iran and other regions. The remains of Sasanian sites and scattered ceramic sherds help us to apprehend the history of the socio-political organization of the Persian Gulf sphere and recognize the interactions between ancient ports and cities. In the paper after a historical introduction about Sasanian Persian Gulf, we have studied the archaeological evidences of Sasanian settlements in both Persian and Arabian shores of Persian Gulf.
