Summary/Abstract: It seems that the 6th century military clashes between Byzantium and Iran stemmed,at least to some extent, from religious conflicts. The article offers an attempt to analyze theactions of the king of Iran - Xusrō I taken towards the Christians, especially during theperiods of wars. One may observe a certain dose of tolerance towards the Christians in thepolicies of Xusrō I, as the persecutions were generally directed against the apostates fromMasdaism. Xusrō I supported the Persian/Teodorian Church, with parallel attempts tosubduing it to the crown. It seems that support of developing miaphysite Church aimed atstrengthening Iranian influence in the border areas.
