Summary
Explore the most enduring empire of the ancient Near East.
Few nations were able to not only parry but also defeat the mighty Roman Empire, rivaling it in almost all segments. One of those was the Parthian empire, cultural and traditional successor of the more famous Achaemenid Persian empire that was brought down by the Alexander the Great.
Indeed, the Parthians are recognized as one of the toughest enemies the Romans ever fought, and rightfully so. Parthian soldiers put the Roman legions to the test, making them prove their worth. Yet by looking at the Parthian empire solely as the "great enemies of Rome", it is easy to overlook other important parts of Parthian history. Simply by changing our perspective, we are able to see that the Parthians were not only warriors but also artists, builders, and traders; they did much more than just challenge the might of the Roman steel.
By listening to Parthian Empire: A Captivating Guide to the Enemy of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, you will:
- Learn about the origins of the Parthian empire
- Discover the rise of the Parthian empire
- Gain startling knowledge about the Roman-Parthian Wars
- Be able to visualize the powerful military tactics that the Parthians used - tactics that gradually became the standard method of warfare in the Roman empire, as well
- Explore the remarkable art and culture of the Parthians
- Go on a discovery to get a sense of the life in the Parthian empire
- And much, much more!
So if you want to learn about the Parthian Empire without having to go through boring textbooks, listen to this audiobook now!

full of truth
A helpful point is also that the authors cite many unique sources, thereby enabling the listener not only to gain an insight into what happened but also how it was perceived and written down by generation.

Thank you for helping
I like the characters in the Parthian Empire series but the plots are getting predictable.

Highly Suggested Audio
I would have liked to see a more critical analysis of some of the Parthian Empire sources, but on the whole, I can recommend this book as an excellent summary for the more than casual listener.

Good summary
This book covers more than just the wars though. It includes the diplomatic relationships and the way that their relations changed over time. This book covers all the basics needed for a broader understanding of this topic.

Nice History
Another great historical fiction story by a good storyteller. The writer brings you smoothly through one action scene to the next all the way through.

Parthian Empire
The book was a bit too brief, only providing a summary of the Empire. Well-written, with a good plot, good descriptions, and believable dialogue.
