Abstract
The existing relations between the Sassanid state and its subjects varied according to the ideology followed by its kings, as several circumstances governed these relations, in which the main engine was the political factor as a result of the competition between the two most powerful empires that ruled the world at the time, the Roman and Sassanid Empires. We can divide their policy into three stages, the first represented by religious tolerance to follow the founder of the state, Ardashir I (226 - 241 AD), trying to win all parties to his side, and his son Shapur I (241 - 272 AD) followed him in the same steps, and in the second stage represented by the rule of the king Sabor II Christians were persecuted due to mistrust and fear of their intentions after Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. In the third stage, Christians were able to rise again and rely on themselves under kings who were characterized by tolerance and good relations with the Roman Empire.
