Marcus Licinius Crassus being supposedly the richest man in Rome was only 2nd in incompetence to Quintus Servilius Caepio who got 80 thousand odd Romans dead to Gaul's.
Gaius Cassius Longinus the leader in the plot that killed Julius Caesar was at the battle of Carrhae with both Crassus & his son though Gaius Cassius Longinus survived to continue being a drain on Rome for another decade still.
Gaius Cassius Longinus & those he kept in his company were both inept & or corrupt among some of the most detestable rich gits that were incapable of doing anything right!
Remind me of our Toffs in British parliament that got their position from birth rather then merit or ability.
It’s actually difficult to imagine how Crassus could have messed this up more.
>famously rejecting Armenian's help.
> Let the enemy have all the initiative
> Fight on territory of your enemy’s choosing
>Don’t adapt your force to counter the enemy
> Give up halfway through and stop making decisions
Sun Tzu would have given him an F rating for doing literally everything wrong.
Local man successfully fails to make a single correct decision
One of the first Rage quit in history.
Well, he did try to adapt his force to counter the all-cavalry enemy army, by forming it into a box so they couldn't be outflanked or shot in the back, and in that aspect it did work. I *guess* marching off into the open desert to chase after an all-cavalry enemy with a mostly heavy infantry army counts as trying to take the initiative but that was imo his worst mistake.

Fun Fact: In some cultures(specially the latins countries), We usually say a person did a "Crassus Mistake" to refer someone did big errors and/or very bad decisions were taken.
And I realize that some years ago.
imagine being such a failure that 2000 years later you are still mocked for your mistake. brutal
Craso error in Spanish
i’ve heard that saying before and never knew that
nice to know lmao
Ive heard some similar phrases with the word “crass”
@@Joebaseball-qp2nkcomes from the Latin for dense.
On Parthian drip:
“All their companies clad in iron, and all parts of their bodies were covered with thick plates, so fitted that the stiff joints conformed with those of their limbs; and forms of the human faces were so skillfully fitted to their heads, that since their entire bodies were covered with metal, arrows that fell upon them could lodge only where they could see a little through tiny openings opposite the pupil of the eye, or where through the tips of their noses they were able to get a little breath. The Persians opposed us serried bands of mail-clad horsemen in such close order that the gleam of moving bodies covered with closely fitting plates of iron dazzled the eyes of those who looked upon them, while the whole throng of horses was protected by coverings of leather.”
Basically they invented Knights before IT was cool also this destroys that bullshit Argument about Knights being ineffective because of hot Dessert weather
@@laisphinto6372 yup, true knightly culture started in Iran, and from my readings full body armour too. Not to say there weren’t similar things being done before but the fully armoured cavalryman is certainly a Persian innovation (at least west of China)
@@robertusaugustus2003 hmm no, this is false. Knightly CULTURE began forming with the Roman Equites with the rise of feudalism in the twilight years of the Western Roman Empire which was further developed by the influx of Germans and their culture in Roman lands. The first case of full body plate armor was found in Mycenean Greece, but fully plated horseman first appeared with the Sarmatians known as the cataphract, which was adopted by the Parthian tribes, who proceeded to migrate into, and conquer Persia from the Greeks, bringing the Cataphracts with them and introducing it into Persian culture
@@osmaniesquijarosa4308 I forgot about the blasted Sarmatians!! I know the early greeks had those bronze plate things but I didn’t think of that since to my knowledge they didn’t have arm protection. Thanks for the correction, always learning lol
@@robertusaugustus2003 No problem it was my pleasure, the case with the full plate bronze armor depends on a case by case basis, it was exceedingly expensive, so some could afford arm plates whilst most couldn't.
This is where the expression of "A Crassus mistake" is born (In Italian and Spanish sounds better, lol.)
Un craso error sin duda alguna.
In portuguese it is "um erro crasso".
Remember the way Rome TW describes the Battle of Carrhae? Something about the Romans huddling together as the sounds of wardrums fills the air- then the arrows start flying. That is fucking chilling. If you play that battle on the highest difficulty, expect to lose at least 60% of your troops in the case of a victory.
I just realized that this might be the only history/gaming channel on RUclips with an enthusiastic appreciation for the Iranian civilizations.
The youtuber is of Iranian Descent himself
Yeah the Iranian area is surprising not talk unless the leaders are messing with some leaders from "west". Iran is the middle child of pop history discussion.
How important were persian and iranian civilizations for history? Im genuinely curious

Absolutely no one :
Iranian kings when their generals win a great victory against a great enemy :
So you have chosen death
Considering what happened everytime a Roman General was mildly successfull in the Roman Empire that fear isnt irrational
@laisphinto6372 yeah and what's worse is that as soon as Iranian kings stopped killing their generals they rebelled, like in the year of the ten Kings in late sassanid period.
Late Western Roman courtiers watching the general that just saved the Empire that week get murdered (the Emperor murdered him)
Bro what? He beat the romans and then gets executed by his own king? Damn the political tension in persia must have been stiff. He clearly didnt want a caesar moment lol
Well, didn't Caesar attack Partia right after that? Bet the king missed his general then.
This was before Caeser's civil war, though Crassus' death contributed to the civil war cuz he was a power balance between Pompey and Caeser. On the otherhand, the Parthian shah gave the position to lead the army to his son, who invaded Roman Syria, and got stomped, so poor leadership goes both ways.
@@falkyrie5228no, Caesar was conquering Gaul when this battle took place, after that ended he spent his last years fighting a civil war and shortly afterwards he was murdered, he was planning a parthian campaign of his own when he died though. The next conflict with Parthia was during the Second Triumvirate, Marcus Antonius' generals repelled a parthian invasion and even killed the Crown Prince of Parthia, then Antonius invaded their territory and barely avoided total disaster, Surena surely must had been sorely missed then.
@@g.sergiusfidenas6650 Makes sense. I'm reading a book about Caeser and I'm at the part where he mentions his intention to attack Partia, so I assumed he did eventually. Guess he didn't get the chance.
He got assassinated before,@@falkyrie5228.
Is such a shame that the young Crassus was lost because of the mistakes of his father, that lad could have had such a bright future
If he had never went with his father, or had survived the battle, I wonder whom he would had sided
Probably with Caesar, he was a subordinate of him in Gaul, and was actually one of the few good commander under Caesar
@@laserrv5978
That’s what we could think, but then there is Labienus, he was besides Caesar from the beginning was one of his few competent commanders and even more it was a dear friend of Caesar
Why would Crassus Jr not follow Labienus steps?
@@Leo-ok3uj My guess its his father relationship with the senate, Crassus was never fond of them, especially after they robbed him of the glory of ending the slave revolts of Spartacus. However we also have to remeber that in order for the civil war to start, Crassus needed to be dead, he was the middle ground between Pompey and Caesar
"Don't worry lads, just a quick campaign to boost my Career, these Eastern types should be easy."

I feel like you're referring to Rhazadh who was the Armenian general appointed for the last defensive battles. The Persian emperor at that time was Khosrow II.

who knows, Surena could have gone on to be a Parthian Caesar... still hilarious and petty that the Shah just kills him off after the victory though
This is a common misconception for those not acquainted with Arsacid political history and the violent factionalist tendencies between royal claimants and the nobility.
Surenas was the kingmaker of his time and a long time guarantor of Orodes from the first internecine before the exile of Mithradates where the latter sought the succors of Aulus Gabinius, the governor in chief of Syria.
Surenas was already a prominent figure by the time of the capture of Seleucia, given credit to heroic deeds few were accorded, no less to a young man of less than 30 years of age. The triumph at Carrhae, which far exceeded expectations of Orodes II, became a cause for alarm once the euphoria had settled.
One, with Crassus dead, and no authoritative replacement in Antioch, there would be no settlement for peace. Meaning the war would continue. The empire had just come out of a dangerous and damaging internecine and Orodes had little appetite to pursue the conflict out of caution.
Second, Orodes' position on the throne was not secure and made exceedingly more dependent on the favours of Surenas - Already a powerful force, and likely much more enthusiastic about pursuing the longstanding Parthian goal of taking Syria. Having already owed his crown and the destruction of a Roman enemy threatening the empire, Orodes was probably conscious of his weak position. After all, Surenas could have felt emboldened enough to take a shot at removing Orodes like he had dislodged Mithradates during the first internecine. This is the dilemma of tables turning too quickly.
Surenas was therefore disposed of. Not out of jealousy or pettiness. Out of cynical calculation and fully accounting for the consequences of subsequent contracts of trust between the royal Arsacids and their magnate allies, from the houses Suren-Pahlaw, Mihran and Karen-Pahlaw. It is also possible that this grim tactic was meant to curb future kingmaking from an ambitious nobility (It didn't work, but we know this in hindsight).
Orodes would continue to rule for about 15 more years - Many of those, marred by intrigues of his princelings and nobles, Pacorus and Phraates, and separately Ornodapates, at the court of Ctesiphon.

Rome originally was not going to let this go. Julius Caesar's planned invasion of the Parthian Empire was to begin in 44 BC, He began a mass mobilization, of sixteen legions(He conquered Gaul with 4). But his assassination that year prevented the invasion from taking place.
The campaign was to start with the pacification of Dacia, followed by an invasion of the Parthian Empire.
Plutarch also claims that once Parthia had been subdued, the army was to continue to Scythia, then Germania, and finally back to Rome.
If Caesar had lived and was able to pull this campaign off, it would have been so awesome! 2:04

You could do something with Shah Agha Muhammad Khan Qajar, like how he got himself killed. "My two servants, you have angered me so! But because it is Friday, I will not execute you, giving you PLENTY OF TIME TO FORM A PLOT TO ASSASSINATE MY BY SATURDAY MORNING" - Shah Agha Qajar. I love that story. Like, that mistake gets repeated a lot in history, that's how the Chinese general Zhang Fei was killed, he ordered the execution of two subordinates, gave them a night to think their fate over, they broke out and assassinated him in his sleep.
The whole thing about being force-fed molten gold was a myth that grew from Crassus's greedy nature.
it was way more the arrows then anything else. the partians just keept distance and showered them with tons of arrows brought by cammels. a shield dosent last forever and the men holding it above their heads for days couldnt either. the partians charged when the romans had no strength left thereby killing thousands, a preemptive charge would be stupid since they had all the cards.

Finally, a meme celebrating Persian victory
You forgot about these POW, where they eventually gonna end up in western most province in Han empire, apparently as mercenaries
At least some surviving Roman POWs from Carrhae were released in 20 BC (33 years after their capture) after Augustus’s peace treaty with Parthia that year, along with eagles that had been captured by the Parthians. However, many POWs apparently remained unaccounted for, and that’s where the theory that Romans went to China came from, although it has never been conclusively proven. It’s more likely that Roman POWs who survived were resettled in other parts of the Parthian Empire, mostly in what is today Turkmenistan.
that china story is bullshit. they were used as POW work labor in iran later were allowed to return to italy after a treaty between Rome and Parthia. not a single evidence about that china story, it originated in fantasy books.
