Parthian Empire

"The Parthian Empire is a fascinating period of Persian history closely connected to Greece and Rome. Ruling from 247 B.C. to A.D. 228 in ancient Persia (Iran), the Parthians defeated Alexander the Great's successors, the Seleucids, conquered most of the Middle East and southwest Asia, controlled the Silk Road and built Parthia into an Eastern superpower. The Parthian empire revived the greatness of the Achaemenid empire and counterbalanced Rome's hegemony in the West. Parthia at one time occupied areas now in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaidzhan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Israel."

van de Mieroop M. Cuneiform and the Writing of History

// 1999. Routledge, London and New York. ISBN 0-415-19533-0. pp 166, 30 pages of notes, references, and indices. "This brief book, part of Routledge's series entitled Approaching the Ancient World, takes as its primary mission to investigate the practices of Mesopotamian historians, and to use their data as expressed in the cuneiform texts to make inferences concerning the political and economic history, as well as inform us about both non-elite members of Mesopotamian society, and the differing roles of men and women in that society."
