The Parthians were not only the first power to stop the advance of the Romans, but they also defeated them in the worst way on the battlefield, such as the attack of Mark Antony or the attack of Crassus.🇮🇷>>>🇮🇹
The Parthian Empire is an enthralling place to explore. One of the greatest civilizations in human history is eloquently depicted in this film. The Parthians made an unforgettable impression on history due to their tactical genius in warfare and their expertise in horseback archery. Their legacy, military strategies, and cultural practices can be better understood by delving into this period of ancient history. Following the ascent and decline of an extraordinary empire is an enthralling adventure! 🏹🏛
I think it would be more correct to use Erâğ than Iraq but doesn’t matter does it But I have to say, as an Iranian, hearing this ancient word said so weirdly is unsettling… To the potato guy, maybe the name of a type of coffee served 4 times a year at midnight doesn’t have to be said correctly but word No. 1 being the name of a country would be the least you could do As challenging as it maybe for your vocal cords lol
The Parthians military achievements against their powerful Greek and Roman foes are very underrated and underestimated They rose from a small kingdom with three cities and few tribes and overcome the Seleucid empire and the Greco Bactrian kingdom Under Arashk I/Arsaces I they lured the imperial army of Seleucus II into Central Asia and decisively defeated the Seleucids, capturing Seleucus in battle During the reign of Mihrdat I/Mehrdad I/Mithridates I the great they reconquered the great Iran, conquered the Greco Bactrian kingdom, repelled a Saka invasion, conquered the Medians, defeated and captured the Seleucid king Demetrius II Nicator in battle around Zagros mountains Under Phraates II the Seleucids launched a military campaign against the Parthians with an army of 80,000 men but the Parthians defeated them again at the battle of Ecbatana 129 BC and killed the Seleucid king Antiochus VII Sidetes During the reign of Mihrdat II/Mehrdad II/Mithridates II the great the Parthians under Gotarzes I faced the allied forces of the Seleucid king Antiochus X and Queen Laodice in battle and defeated them as well, killing Antiochus X in the process One of Gotarzes satraps (who was probably his brother or half brother) named Mithridates III attacked the Seleucid army of king Demetrius III Eucaerus in the middle of the desert and almost annihilated it, capturing the king alive Crassus campaign, Roman invasion repelled Battle of Carrhae, Romans lost even though they outnumbered the Parthians more than 4-1 in open lands (43,000 Romans vs 10,000 Parthians) and after that, the Parthians plundered the lands of Judea, Syria and southern Anatolia Armenia also went under the Parthian rule again Few years later, after a previous setback in a series of skirmishes with Cassius and another Roman commander, Pakur/Pacorus forces heavily defeated Lucius Decidius Saxa near Antioch He fled to Cilicia where he was captured and executed by the Parthians His legions reportedly suffered heavy defeats again and several of his aquilae were seized, being returned to Rome first after a brief Roman war against Parthia and negotiations after the disastrous defeats of Mark Antony Pacorus forces also defeated pro Roman Jewish forces of high priest Hyrcanus II, Phasael, and Herod (this is before Ventidius campaign) Second Roman invasion after Ventidius campaign Mark Antony Atropatene campaign, 32,000-45,000 of Antony's army of 127,000 men were killed by the Parthians while the Parthians had only 40,000-50,000 soldiers They also defeated the Romans at the battle of Urumia 36 BC Mark Antony came back for another campaign against the Parthians with the help of a traitor Median king but was again pushed back and forced to go back to Rome because of his rivalry with Octavian while the Parthians and their new Armenian allies defeated his and the Median king's forces and brought Armenia under the Parthian rule again Roman Parthian war 58-63 AD The Parthians were victorious at the battle of Rhandeia and inflicted a heavy defeat on the Roman army They made Romans build a bridge so that the Parthian Shahanshah can pass the river while sitting on his royal elephant Even made Romans go under their spears, which was the most humiliating thing for Roman legions By the end of this war, the Parthians reconquered Armenia again There were 7 Parthian capitals in several different regions of the empire in total and whenever Ctesiphon was sacked, the Romans faced no Parthian army Trajan attacked when the Parthians were in a civil war (both because of the Parthian usurper, Osroes I, who betrayed the treaty of Rhandeia) and still lost all the conquered cities to Iranian rebels in a few months after he left Even during Trajan's invasion, the Parthians gained some victories Trajan failed to take Hatra, which avoided a total Parthian defeat and he himself was wounded during the siege The Parthian forces attacked key Roman positions, and Roman garrisons at Seleucia, Nisibis and Edessa were evicted by the local populaces and the Romans were pushed out of Mesopotamia with the defeat of Trajan's puppet king thus reconquering all the territories that were lost during the invasion and fighting Romans off to a stalemate The Parthians may have been defeated at the end of the Roman Parthian war of 161-166 but before that, they defeated and routed two Roman armies in Armenia and Syria and even successfully besieged Edessa in 163 They might have won in the end if it wasn't for a plague The war of Caracalla Ever since the treaty of Rhandeia, a Parthian prince from Arsacid dynasty picked by the Parthian king himself, would sit on the throne of Armenia but was crowned there by Romans (they became a different branch of the Arsacid dynasty) Caracalla chose to preoccupy himself with an invasion of Armenia He appointed a freedman named Theocritus as the leader of the invasion, which eventually ended in a disaster for Romans who were defeated by the Parthian Armenian rebels and repelled from Armenia After that, the Parthians won the battle of Nisibis 217 AD and the Romans were forced to pay a heavy tribute of 200 million sesterces which equalled the wealth of the richest man of the Roman republic, Crassus, the Roman general at the battle of Carrhae

Dude be respectful to Italy
Yes we had ancient rivalry with them but that's no reason to disrespect them
Do Vietnamese mythology next, to see what deities it has, or if you want, videos about Mapuche Mythology

Cataphracts were around before the Parthians
Good video but Iran and Iraq are pronounced e-ran and e-raq rather than i-ran/i-raq
I thought both pronunciations were acceptable. And is the "e" sound long or short?
@@canaisyoung3601 It's a short "e". I don't know if both are acceptable but the one with "e" is the nearest to how natives pronounce it
Potato Potaughto 😂😂
I think it would be more correct to use Erâğ than Iraq but doesn’t matter does it
But I have to say, as an Iranian, hearing this ancient word said so weirdly is unsettling…
To the potato guy, maybe the name of a type of coffee served 4 times a year at midnight doesn’t have to be said correctly but word No. 1 being the name of a country would be the least you could do
As challenging as it maybe for your vocal cords lol
Thanks for the video
Noted for their fearsome pink pajama spearmen which make even battle hardened Roman legionary veterans quake at the sight of them.

Cathaphracts charge! Good memories always come back. Total war Rome 2😂
Love from iran, but pronanciation is e-ran.
You can tell why Kurds are so brave and strong as a nation. Their ancestors Parthians and Medes were strong people.
@@kunknown2340 - It’s been proven that the Parthians language is closest to modern Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish. This is not theory, it’s proven.
@wexqlp3863 good to know
So aoemem and carzy
Stopped listening after I heard you said the word iran as eye-ran.
