The ENTIRE Story of The Parthian Empire | Relaxing History Documentary

Описание: The Parthian Empire stood as a formidable force between Rome and the East for nearly five centuries. Known for their deadly horse archers, diplomatic finesse, and fierce independence, the Parthians built one of antiquity’s greatest yet most overlooked empires.

This documentary tells the epic story of the Parthians—from their nomadic origins in the deserts of Central Asia to their rise as Rome’s eastern rival. Learn how they overthrew the Seleucid Greeks, defied multiple Roman invasions, and maintained a decentralized empire that challenged Western and Eastern powers alike.

With legendary battles like Carrhae, complex royal successions, and a unique blend of Persian, Hellenistic, and local cultures, the Parthian Empire shaped the political and military history of the ancient world in ways still felt today.
