 History of Iran: Ctesiphon (Parthian: Tyspwn)
At the end of the fourth century, king Seleucus, the successor of Alexander the Great and founder of the Seleucids empire, built Seleucia on the opposite bank of Opis.
In the second century CE, the large city became the natural target for Roman aggression, because the Romans thought that the capture of the Parthian capital would inevitably result in the fall of the eastern empire.
In the fifth century, Ctesiphon became a very important center of Nestorianism, a Christian church that accepts a larger distance between the two natures of Christ than the churches of the West.

Son was introduced there in approximately the 7th century CE by a Korean monk named Pomnang, said to have studied under the fourth Chinese patriarch, but little is known of him or of these early times.
During the 9th century CE, Son Buddhism became the dominant form of Buddhism in Korea as a result of a steady stream of Korean masters going to China to study Ch'an Buddhism and returning to Korea to teach.
Son remained significant in Korea until 1392 CE, when a revolt replaced the pro-Buddhist government with one that favoured Confucianism and regarded Buddhism as an un-Korean influence.

 Culture of Iran: Cultural and Cosmological Impact of Iranian Civilization in Vietnam and Peninsular Areas of Southeast ...
By the third century CE, Parthian Empire's trade routes were extended in the maritime ports of Southeast Asia as far as the Malay Peninsula's international port of Tun-sun, where the Iranian merchants had established settlements with no less than 500 residents [Wheatley 1964:47].
The discovery of Sogdian inscriptions in Inner Tibet and in Western Himalayas [Flood 1991:32] and the spread of its kin-Iranian cultural sphere in Southeast Asia are among the cultural factors in support of the argument for the impact of the diffusion of Partho-Sassanid culture and cosmology in Southeast Asia.
Indeed the extent of this rich cultural impact from the direction of Sassanian civilization to the Far East was symbolized in the ninth century CE by the Chinese Wang Chien who wrote: "The families of Lo-yang learn Iranian music".

 The Holy Order of O:N:E:
The first edition of the Gospel of John was composed, very early in the second century CE and under the pressure of Synoptic ascendancy, as a combination of the Johannine Signs Gospel and the Synoptic traditions about the passion and res­urrection.
The text, written around the middle of the second century CE, was dependent on a harmonized version of the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and possibly Mark as well (Koester, 1982:202-203; Cameron, 1982:103-104).
Extant middle-second-century CE text is redacted from the Cross Gospel and intracanonical units such as Joseph and Burial in 6:23-24, Women and Youth in 12:50-13:57, and Disciples and Apparition in14:60.

 The Myth of a Gentile Galilee by Mark A. Chancey
The chronological dimension of this evidence is crucial because Galilee's cultural ethos changed dramatically after the defeat of the Jews by the Romans in the first revolt (66-70 CE) and the stationing of a Roman legion near and in Galilee c.
To take this evidence from the second and third centuries CE, a very different period in Galilee's historical development, and draw conclusions about the first century -- especially the early first century when Galilee was ruled by a client king, not a Roman governor -- would be terribly anachronistic.
In short, while it is reasonable to assume that there were some gentiles in first-century CE Sepphoris, there is nothing in the archaeological or literary record to suggest that there was an especially large number.
