Abstract: Abstract Flourishing process of information technologies (IT) and information-communication technologies (ICT), as well as the expansion of media communication during recent decades, overcame political borders and paved the way for tangible social and cultural communications which formed the transnational interrelationship far beyond political affairs of states. This issue contemporized with presenting theories on cultural convergence and its resourcefulness. The cultural history recognition of countries with old historical background, rich culture, and extensive geographical and ethnical sphere denotes that emphasizing on cultural convergence has been one of the influential policies in permanence and continuance of their political, social, and economic structure. The issue of Iran during the Arsacid (Parthian) era (247/8 B.C.E.–224 A.D.) is a cross section of creativity and inventiveness in cultural policy based on cultural convergence and tolerance. This chapter studies and introduces Arsacid’s policy in creating cultural convergence with Greek-origin ethnic group and their subculture in Iran based on primary sources.
