Next among the provinces touching Par thia, and lying on the eastern border of that country, was Arya, the little district which in the fate and vicissitude of things has preserved to modern times the name of our ancestral race.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores the history of Parthia, an ancient empire that played a pivotal role in Western Asia. As one of the European developments of the Aryan family, the Parthians emerged from the ruins of the Persian Empire and established a formidable state that ruled vast territories from the borders of the Caspian Sea to the shores of the Arabian Gulf. The author analyzes the unique characteristics of Parthian culture, including their nomadic lifestyle, religious beliefs, and the sophisticated warfare tactics that made their cavalry a force to be reckoned with. The book also examines the Parthians' interactions with other civilizations, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Babylonians, and their impact on the broader historical landscape of the ancient world.
