Abstract
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.
