The Parthians are a fascinating but little-known ancient civilization of nomadic horse-warriors. They left few written records, concentrating rather on a rich oral and storytelling tradition: what knowledge we have of this remarkable people derives primarily from their coinage, which mixed Hellenism with Persian influences. This volume brings together contributions by a range of distinguished scholars, examining - from a variety of perspectives - the origins of the Parthians, their history, religion and culture, as well as perceptions of their empire through the lens of both imperial Rome and China.
