چکیده:
The Romans used the Latin phrase mare nostrum (“our sea”) to describe the Mediterranean as part of the Roman Empire.
Using written and archaeological sources, this essay will attempt to show that the Persian Gulf was a mare nostrum for the Sasanian
Persians in the same way that the Mediterranean was a mare nostrum for the Romans. The Sasanians considered the Persian Gulf to
be part of their empire and made a systematic and continuous attempt to maintain control over it from the beginning of their dynasty
in the third century c.e.

In the Sasanian period Fraxwkard was identified with the Indian Ocean, Puidig with the Persian Gulf, and Sawdes with the Sea of Oman.
By this act he would have attempted to bring security to the Persian Gulf region from the beginning of the Sasanian dynasty (Kervran, Hiebert, and Rougeulle 2005: 211).
There appear to have been Sasanian forts at Dammam, Jurrfar, and Sohar, at the mouth of the Persian Gulf in the Sea of Oman, which may have taken part in trade (Wilkinson 1973: 888).
At the same time, Sasanian control of the Persian Gulf prevented the Romans from having direct access to the Indian Ocean trade (Daryaee 2003: 1-16).
e. The Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr indicates that the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula were considered as part of the Sasanian Empire.
Control of the Persian Gulf also made it possible for the Sasanians to connect directly with the Indian Ocean trade and to prevent the Romans from doing so.
There is textual and archaeological evidence for Sasanian settlements around the Persian Gulf, more on the southern shore than on the northern.
