It is the only country with both a Caspian Sea and an Indian Ocean coastline. The country's central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, make it of great geostrategic importance. Tehran is the country's capital and largest city, as well as its leading economic center. - The Tiber (Latin "Tiberis", Italian "") is the third-longest river in Italy, rising in the Apennine Mountains in Emilia-Romagna and flowing through Umbria and Lazio, where it is joined by the Aniene river, to the Tyrrhenian Sea, between Ostia and Fiumicino. It drains a basin estimated at .

With 2,870,336 residents in , it is also the country's largest and most populated "comune" and fourth-most populous city in the European Union by population within city limits. The Metropolitan City of Rome has a population of 4.3million residents. The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, within Lazio (Latium), along the shores of Tiber river. The Vatican City is an independent country geographically located within the city boundaries of Rome, the only existing example of a country within a city: for this reason Rome has been often defined as capital of two states. - Lazio (; ) is one of the 20 administrative regions of Italy, situated in the central peninsular section of the country. With almost 5.9 million residents and a GDP of more than 170 billion euros, Lazio is the second most populated region of Italy (having approximately the same in population as Campania), and has the second largest economy of the nation.

It is an encyclopedic lexicon, written in Greek, with 30,000 entries, many drawing from ancient sources that have since been lost, and often derived from medieval Christian compilers. The derivation is probably from the Byzantine Greek word "souda", meaning "fortress" or "stronghold," with the alternate name, "Suidas", stemming from an error made by Eustathius, who mistook the title for the author's name. - Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe.

AD 248 ) was a Greek historian of Rome and Parthia in the 3rd century . He was a senator who wrote a fifteen - book history of Rome , Chilieteris ( '' The Millennium '' ) , which according to the Suda covered the period from the founding of Rome until the rule of Alexander Severus . He also wrote a Parthika in nine books , presumably a narrative of the Parthian campaigns of the preceding century . Some scholars attribute to him a Germanika as well , although this is debated . All of his works were in Greek . Thirty fragments of his work remain , which are published by Felix Jacoby in the Fragmente der griechischen Historiker . Most of these derive from the dictionary of Stephanus of Byzantium . The '' thousand years '' of Quadratus ' title has been explained in various ways . Jacoby argues that Quadratus unusually dated the founding of Rome to the first Olympiad in 776 . Zecchini , on the other hand , claims that Quadratus used the traditional dating of the founding of Rome and intended the work to extend to 248 , when Philip the Arab celebrated the 1st millennium ; but that he died before its completion . Asinius is the nomen of the gens Asinia of ancient Rome . He was the son of Gaius Julius Asinius Quadratus , who was brother of Gaius Asinius Rufus ( born c. 160 ) and Gaius Asinius Quadratus Protimus ( born c. 165 ) , Proconsul of Achaea c. 211 or in 220 . These brothers were sons of Gaius Asinius Nicomachus ( born c. 135 ) and his wife and cousin Julia Quadratilla ( born c. 145 ) ( or perhaps Asinia Marcellina , descendant of the family of Gaius Asinius Pollio ) , and grandchildren of Gaius Asinius Rufus ( c. 110 - after 136 ) , a notable in Lydia in 134 and 135 who became a Roman Senator in 136 , and wife Julia . - The Parthian Empire (247BC 224AD), also known as the Arsacid Empire, was a major Iranian political and cultural power in ancient Iran and Iraq. Its latter name comes from Arsaces I of Parthia who, as leader of the Parni tribe, founded it in the mid-3rd century BC when he conquered the region of Parthia in Iran's northeast, then a satrapy (province) in rebellion against the Seleucid Empire. Mithridates I of Parthia (r."c".171138BC) greatly expanded the empire by seizing Media and Mesopotamia from the Seleucids. At its height, the Parthian Empire stretched from the northern reaches of the Euphrates, in what is now central-eastern Turkey, to eastern Iran. The empire, located on the Silk Road trade route between the Roman Empire in the Mediterranean Basin and the Han Empire of China, became a center of trade and commerce. - Latium is the region of central western Italy in which the city of Rome was founded and grew to be the capital city of the Roman Empire. Latium was originally a small triangle of fertile, volcanic soil on which resided the tribe of the Latins or Latians. It was located on the left bank (east and south) of the Tiber river, extending northward to the Anio river (a left-bank tributary of the Tiber) and southeastward to the Pomptina Palus (Pontine Marshes, now the Pontine Fields) as far south as the Circeian promontory. The right bank of the Tiber was occupied by the Etruscan city of Veii, and the other borders were occupied by Italic tribes. Subsequently, Rome defeated Veii and then its Italic neighbors, expanding Latium to the Apennine Mountains in the northeast and to the opposite end of the marsh in the southeast. The modern descendant, the Italian "Regione" of Lazio, also called "Latium" in Latin, and occasionally in modern English, is somewhat larger still, but not as much as double the original Latium. - Parthia (Parava, , Paraw, , Pahlaw) is a historical region located in north-eastern Iran. It was the political and cultural base of the Arsacid dynasty, rulers of the Parthian Empire (247 BC 224 AD).
