The Parthian Empire is a fascinating period of Persian history closely connected to Greece and Rome. The Parthian empire revived the greatness of the Achaemenid empire and counterbalanced Rome's hegemony in the West. Parthia at one time occupied areas now in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaidzhan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel. Because limited written historical sources have survived, much of what we know about the Parthians and their sub-kingdoms must be deduced from the coins which provide the majority of the very incomplete historical record. But this list is not limited to numismatics and discussion of all aspects of Parthia is encouraged.
