THE PARTHIANS
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.
Uwe Ellerbrock
has been studying the Parthian Empire for more than 30 years.
His book
Die Parther,
written with archaeologist Sylvia Winkelmann, was published
in 2012 (revised edition 2015).
