The city continued to flourish under Parthian rule beginning in 141 BC; ancient texts claim that it reached a population of 600,000. Seleucia was destroyed in 165 AD by Roman general Avidius Cassius and gradually faded into obscurity in the subsequent centuries. The site was rediscovered in the 1920s by archaeologists.

Black Slave's Cry to Heaven
Black Slave's Cry to Heaven (Chinese: 黑奴籲天錄; pinyin: Hēinú Yūtiān Lù) was a 1907 stage play performed by the Spring Willow Society, a Chinese student troupe in Tokyo, Japan. Adapted by Chinese actor Zeng Xiaogu from a translation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1858 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, the play focused on the experiences and eventual escape of two slaves, Eliza and George.

Modified to call attention allegorically to the experiences of Chinese migrants in the United States, Black Slave's Cry to Heaven was innovative in its use of spoken dialogue and realistic set designs. Performed twice at the Hongō-za Theatre, the show was well received by critics and audiences. Although its script has been lost, the play has inspired subsequent works. Due to its technical innovations and nationalist themes, Black Slave's Cry to Heaven has been canonized as the first modern Western-style Chinese drama.
