In this episode of The Parthian Empire: Rome's Forgotten Eastern Rival, Lucas and Luna explore the tumultuous final years of the Arsacid dynasty. They focus on Artabanus IV, the last Parthian emperor, who faced a devastating civil war with his brother Vologases VI, a costly war with Rome under Caracalla and Macrinus, and the growing rebellion of Ardashir I in Persis. How did internal strife and external pressure pave the way for the Sasanian Empire? Lucas unpacks the Battle of Nisibis in 217 AD, the peace treaty that followed, and the final siege of Ctesiphon in 224 AD. The conversation also touches on the role of the Karen and Suren noble families, and the strategic significance of Mesopotamia. A must-listen for anyone interested in the decline of ancient empires and the rise of the Sasanian dynasty. #ArtabanusIV #VologasesVI #ArdashirI #ParthianEmpire #SasanianEmpire #BattleOfNisibis #Caracalla #Macrinus #Ctesiphon #Mesopotamia #Persis #ArsacidDynasty #KarenFamily #SurenFamily #AncientHistory #RomanHistory #MiddleEastHistory #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
