In the history of ancient Iran, the Achaemenes state had experience in governance and a long presence in the lands around the Black Sea. The Achaemenes, who formed one of the first empires in human history, extended their vast borders in the north, south, east, and west to form seas or great rivers and brought large parts of Asia to the Greeks through trade exchanges and political relations. The maritime policy of the Achaemenes was access to all the coasts of the Black Sea, which protected them from invasions by the northern tribes and at the same time challenged the Greeks through their domination of Asia Minor and the enjoyment of its economic sources. This policy continued throughout the Achaemenes era, whether through military campaigns or by sending Achaemenes troops or families to the states of Asia Minor, but also through trade and economic activities. In this descriptive and analytical study has been reviewed the reason and circumstance of presence of Achaemenes in the area of the Black Sea, by study of Achaemenes inscriptions and Hellenic works and also researches of contemporary historians. This study concludes that Achaemenes based on a precise plan and then due to successive developments and events, thought that the Black Sea, which was a side sea for them, transform to lake within the territory of their empire and they succeeded to a large extent in this work.

The Silk Road is a passage way for peace and world trade, a canal for exchange of ideas, thoughts, knowledge, and beliefs, and one of the largest networks of trade routes in the world. Passing through several vast countries, this road was the most precious link between different nations and lands of old times. It connected the civilizations of Iran, China, India, Mesopotamia, and Central Asia, which was a heavy historical load for several centuries. Presently, although the imposed borderlines have torn huge ancient countries apart, the cultures and rituals of all the new lands still have their roots in the same origin. The reason behind this oneness can be sought in the historical, political, social, and economic ties of such nations. The exchanges between China and Iran, and Iran and Rome through the Silk Road were not limited to a few material goods; rather, they included the products of both the minds and hands of the people of these countries. Such products ranged from natural and industrial goods to local handicrafts and national and heavenly customs and rituals, all demonstrating the value of a super highway connecting the East to the West. Today, a convergence among the countries of different regions in the world is necessary more than any other time. Thus any effort in order to establish different unities could pave the way for the opening of a highway that can consolidate the unity among nations.
