Elon Musk — the richest man in the world as far as we can tell, who leveraged his wealth to embed himself into the highest level of national politics — is getting closer and closer to the 'invade Parthia' part of his career and I look forward to that.

Parthia was weirdly Bad For The Jews as I understand it. I don’t know if they were trying to win like an antisemitism measuring contest with Rome or what but it’s a uniquely bad period of pre-Islamic Persian history for Jews

Thinking any exterior force is going to topple American hegemony is a fool's game. Empires rot from within, and the Yanks tend to come together fast when actually pressed. If this is the Roman empire, we're hitting "Do we really need a province of Parthia?"

The Sasanian Empire, officially Eranshahr, was an Iranian empire that was founded and ruled by the House of Sasan from 224 to 651. Enduring for just over four centuries, the length of the Sasanian dynasty's reign over ancient Iran was second only to the directly preceding Arsacid dynasty of Parthia.

I need to read Curtius in more detail for the location, I think, but since it is explicitly before the advance into Parthia, that's Susa or Persepolis probably.

While the Parthians are famous for their cavalry and horse archers, their technology goes way beyond that. They also mastered the art of engineering.

Driven by this ambition, he invaded Parthia, expecting a swift and decisive victory.
Instead, at the Battle of Carrhae, he walked into one of Rome's worst defeats. His legions were outmanoeuvred by the Parthian cataphracts and horse archers. His son, Publius, perished and his army was slaughtered.

Gifted by Rome as a slave, she rose to become Queen of mighty Parthia. In a shocking twist, she then married her own son, and together they ruled the vast empire.
From Roman captive to Parthian sovereign, here is the extraordinary tale, filled with intrigue and ambition, of Musa of Parthia. 👇

You demonstrated the uncritical positivism with which classical Chinese texts are read and interpreted. You took for certain the terms for Parthia and India and then concluded that all’s that left is Rome. Simple, linear, uncomplicated.
