View show details

In 217 AD, the Roman emperor Caracalla was assassinated, and his successor Macrinus faced a massive Parthian army under Artabanus IV at Nisibis. This bloody battle, fought with cavalry charges and cataphracts, ended in a stalemate that forced Rome to pay a staggering indemnity. But the real loser was the Arsacid dynasty itself: the war drained Parthia's resources, leaving it vulnerable to the rising Sasanian rebellion. Lucas and Luna explore the strategic blunders, the role of the Roman army in the east, and how this overlooked battle set the stage for the fall of the Parthian Empire. Along the way, they discuss the Parthian cavalry tactics, the role of the praetorian prefect, and the controversial peace treaty that shocked the Roman world. #ParthianEmpire #BattleOfNisibis #ArtabanusIV #Macrinus #Caracalla #RomanEmpire #Sasanian #Cataphract #ParthianCavalry #Mesopotamia #AncientWarfare #ArsacidDynasty #RomanHistory #FexingoHistory #AncientHistory #History #MilitaryHistory #MiddleEast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
