  Immigrant people who had rushed to the eastern part of Iran since the time of Achaemenian up to the time of Sassanian and then had dwelt there by passage of time played an important role in politics and economical relationships of this region. In this article, we will discuss about the process of invasions of these new-comer people from eastern north borders to the Territory of Sassanid Empire. The main goal of this article is to survey and show the manner of cultural relationship and interaction of Sassanid culture and civilization with these people and capacity of culture acceptance with these cultures and tensions or accomplished developments in this mutual confrontation. Several multi dimensional contacts between Iran and its eastern neighbours in most of the cases had been compressed and foreign cultures had interacted and principally the culture that has deeper origin will have more effects in the culture of its opponent. In this time importance of eastern part of Iran was in the extent that this region had become one of the main obsessions of Sassanians and some agents of Sassanid government in Koshan (Koshan Shah) and Sakestan (Sokan Shah). In the absence of any written resources, archaeological findings reflect required informations. From among the most important of these archaeological findings, are Sassanid coins that to some extent determine the governments' territory. These coins were imitated and sampled by the kings of Gajarat, Koshan and Hons. Hons were highly influenced by Sassanid culture and transferred it to India and paved the way for immigration of Zoroastrian Iranian to this region in the later periods. Manuscript profile

  Abstract The Sasanian era is one of the most brilliant periods of Iranian art before Islam. Sasanian metalwork art has a great value because it was influenced by ancient artistic elements and in other words, it was cast in the form of taste and taste of Sasanian era Iran. This art to some extent followed the traditions of the Achaemenians and especially the Parthians and after the emergence of Islam and the Arab conquests until the time we are discussing (the Seljuks) and even after that, the art of metalworking directly received this influence from ancient Iran. In this article, we aim to investigate the indicators of Sasanian metalwork art and the degree of influence of the Seljuks from the Sasanians using the historical research method. The review of sources and articles shows that Sasanian metalwork works have different formal, role, decorative and structural characteristics. Among them, the influences and inspirations of the form and role, in addition to the Islamic periods, are more visible in the Seljuk period. Because the Iranians had a rich civilizational background, and the conquering Arabs and other conquerors encouraged them to immediately use this cultural heritage and use the same features and indicators of the past metalworking art, which was manifested in a magnificent and excellent way in the created works. And it continued. Key words: Sassanians, metalworking, Seljuks Manuscript profile

In fact, although at certain times during the reign of some Sasanian kings such as Shapur I and Nersi, religious minorities enjoyed freedom. But religious minorities were generally suppressed during the Sasanian period. Under the influence of the Zoroastrian religion in the Sassanid era, religious clerics gained great power.
