This investigation have attempted to elucidate the historiographical practices in early Sasanian Iran in light of recent studies into the mechanisms and structures of Oral (epic) Literature. Author has examined whether the early Sasanian possessed a memory of their historical past, in particular their Achaemenid past, to which they would refer in an attempt to legitimize their expansinist foreign policy against Roman empire. The results are (1) Sasanian historiography ussed narrative, thematic, and phraseological patterns pertinent to the oral (epic) tradition in order to compose the account of historical events, a practice that makes it virtually impossible for the historian to demarcate history from epic, that is distinguish whether, due to the strong ascendancy of epic over people's mentalities, history was generated in conformity with the epic ideal. or whether the recording of history, once cast into the mold of oral epic tradition. lost its individual hhistorical tenor or conform to the normative frame of an overpowering historicized oral epic tradition; (2) The early Sasanians did not possess any historical knowledge of the Achaemenids, and the alleged Achaemenid revival ascribed to them by contemporaneous Roman sources is in reality a (Roman) literary, ideological, construct explainable in light of the concurrent phenomenon of the imitatio Alexandri under the last Severan emperors, Caracalla and Alexander Severus.
