View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna uncork the story of Parthian wine: how the empire became a key producer and exporter of fine vintages that rivaled Roman and Greek wines. We follow the journey of clay amphorae from the vineyards of the Zagros mountains to the tables of Roman senators and Chinese emperors. Discover how viticulture spread through the region, how Parthian merchants used the Silk Road to trade wine for silk and spices, and what archaeologists have found in the ruins of Ctesiphon and Seleucia-on-the-Tigris. We also look at the cultural significance of wine in Zoroastrian rituals and Parthian court life, and how the trade routes shaped economic ties between East and West. From the famous wines of Media Atropatene to the influence of Hellenistic techniques, this is a side of Parthia that's often overlooked. #ParthianWineTrade #SilkRoad #Ctesiphon #ZagrosMountains #ParthianAmphorae #Viticulture #SeleuciaOnTheTigris #MediaAtropatene #Zoroastrianism #ParthianEconomy #AncientWine #LuxuryTrade #Hellenistic #FexingoHistory #History #MiddleEast #AncientTrade #Archaeology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
