Abstract:
Khosrow Parviz Sassanid (A.D. 628-590) after removing Bahram Chubin as a claimant to the throne, he was able to dominate the power. Throughout his rule, the Roman Empire and relations with it were considered a fundamental variable that was influential in the internal developments of the Sassanid Empire. In these relations, which at one point were peaceful and at other times accompanied by war, Christianity was at the center of developments. Therefore, in the current research, we are looking for an answer to the question, what effect did Christianity have on Khosrow Parvez's relationship with Christians in the Sassanid Empire and the Roman Empire? The findings of the research, which were carried out with descriptive-analytical methods and library studies, show that Khosrow Parviz, who at the beginning of his reign considered himself a debtor to the Roman Empire, tried to use Christianity as a lever to consolidate power in order to dominate the government. to be He then married two Christian noblemen and developed good relations with Christians. Nevertheless, the erosive conflicts of the Sassanids and the Romans in the border areas, the dissatisfaction of the Zoroastrian priests with the spread of Christianity within the empire, as well as the religious conflicts between the Nestorian and Jacobite Christians changed Khosrow Parvez's attitude towards the Christians to a great extent over time.

The research findings, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and library studies, show that Khosrow Parviz, who at the beginning of his reign considered himself indebted to the Roman Empire, attempted to use Christianity as a lever to consolidate power in order to dominate the government.
Nevertheless, the exhausting conflicts between the Sasanians and Romans at border points, the dissatisfaction of Zoroastrian Magi with the expansion of Christianity within the empire, and also the religious disputes between Nestorian and Jacobite Christians significantly changed Khosrow Parviz's attitude toward Christians over time.
Keywords: Christianity, Khosrow Parviz, Roman Empire, Sasanian Empire Introduction Iranian dynasties of the ancient period, from their inception until the rise of the Sasanian government, did not show any particular fanaticism in support of different religions and sects.
In the era of Khosrow Parviz as well, Christians were not merely a religious minority and were able, through the positions they attained in the pillars of power, to intervene in various matters, especially the foreign relations of the Sasanian Empire and the Roman Empire.
To gain the attention of Khosrow Parviz in support of the Nestorians against the Jacobites, during the rebellion of Nisibis along with the Nakhwaragan, he became the commander of the Sassanid army and, with the promise of general amnesty, forced the Christian population living there to surrender the city; however, after the surrender of the city, the rebel leaders were arrested and killed, and their property was confiscated (Kolesnikov, 1977: 172).
