Summary

The Parthians by Uwe Ellerbrock offers a detailed exploration of the Parthian Empire, which thrived for nearly five centuries from 247 BC to 224 AD. The book examines the empire’s rise, expansion, peak, and decline, highlighting its conflicts with Rome and the nomadic peoples to the east. Drawing on diverse sources—including Greek, Roman, and Chinese records—it delves into the Parthians’ military history, social structures, religions, art, architecture, and coinage. Richly illustrated with images and maps, this volume sheds light on a civilisation often overshadowed in ancient history.

Description

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the history and culture of the Parthian Empire, which existed for almost 500 years from 247 BC to 224 AD.

The Parthians were Rome’s great opponents in the east, but comparatively little is known about them. The Parthians focuses on the rise, expansion, flowering and decline of the Parthian Empire and covers both the wars with the Romans in the west and the nomads in the east. Sources include the small amount from the Empire itself, as well as those from outside the Parthian world, such as Greek, Roman and Chinese documents. Ellerbrock also explores the Parthian military, social history, religions, art, architecture and numismatics, all supported by a great number of images and maps.

The Parthians is an invaluable resource for those studying the Ancient Near East during the period of the Parthian Empire, as well as for more general readers interested in this era.
