Abstract:

With the dominance of the Mongols in Iran, the trade centers of the Persian Gulf, which were in the hands of the governments in the Southern Iran region,  came under the control of the Ilkhanate State indirectly. Persian Gulf trade was one of the important trade routes of the Ilkhanate State in the XIII. century. The trade over the Persian Gulf reached the important stops of the spice route trade through the Oman and Hind seas. Through the Persian Gulf, Ilkhanians were transporting precious goods, brought from Arabia, India, China and Southeast Asia to Europe. The Persian Gulf, which had a very rich commercial life in the age of the Ilkhanians, was also one of the important pillars of the economic structure of the Ilkhanate State. In this context, we will evaluate the Persian Gulf, which has a valuable place in the medieval commercial activities in this geography during the domination of the Ilkhanid State, and the trade route of Oman and the Indian Sea and the important trade ports of this region, which this gulf is adjacent to them. The relations of the local governments, which are located in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf and which are subject to the Ilkhanians, who are subject to the Ilkhanians, and the reflection of this relationship on the trade of the Persian Gulf, will be another issue that we will try to address in our study.
