Iranian/Persian Civilization - Parthian Empire - Part 1/3
Loading...
Uploaded by SonOfCyrusTheGreat on Mar 10, 2008
So you think you know everything about the Romans? They gave us sophisticated road systems, chariots and the modern-day calendar. And of course they had to contend with barbarian hordes who continually threatened the peace, safety and prosperity of their Empire. Didn't they?
Terry Jones takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. Not only does it offer us the chance to see the Romans from a non-Roman perspective, it also reveals that most of the people written off by the Romans as uncivilized, savage and barbaric were in fact organized, motivated and intelligent groups of people, with no intentions of overthrowing Rome and plundering its Empire. This is the true story of Roman history as seen by the Persians.

Parthians were NOT Persians, I do not know why the guy on the videor refers to them as Persian.

@PatrickEngSU The catapchracts maybe retreaded but managed to avert the forming of the defensive Roman triangle, that's why the archers decimated the legions.

@PatrickEngSU I'm pretty sure Persia didn't fall to Rome, They fell from the Parthian dynasty to Sassanid dynasty then to the evil arab that Islamifyed it :P

This guy is wrong- the roman legionaries murdered the cataphracts- that's why they retreated. It was the amazing parthian horse archers that won the battle. Crassus didn't charge the archers either- he had his son take some cav and charge. This guy is describing a simplified and wrong version of the battle. Don't believe me? Read an account of the battle. Parthia would later be conquored by Rome as Crassus was hardly a general of note- definitely not a Caesar

Actualy no. Cyrus Grandfather Astyages orderd his armys to quell Cyrus growing power and influence, but, Astyages was betrayed by his own general, who gave his allegance to Cyrus, they captured Astyages and his fate was unknown, historians believed him to be exiled, burned to death, or suicide.

I agree. But how we come to learn about those facts - i.e. what we take to be reliable sources - is to be questioned.

@pablo4115 That maybe true, but the big picture and the brute historical facts remain intact nevertheless. Details may have been altered by tellers, but the underlying facts of the battles and the outcome of those battles are not to be questioned.
