Parthian Empire (247 BC-224 AD)
Parthian empire
Ancient slavery kingdom in Iran. Parthia is roughly equivalent to the Khorasan region in Iran today, and it was a province during the Persian Empire and the Seleucia Kingdom. At the beginning of the 3rd century BC, the Palne branch of the Nomadic Sea Tribe Alliance migrated from the present Syr Darya River valley to Pattaya, where it merged with the local residents. In 247 BC, Assassinus, the leader of Palne, killed the governor of Seleucia and established the Assassinus dynasty with Nisa (now Ashgabat, Turkmenistan) as its capital. China historians call it rest in peace, while western historians call it Parthia.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), with the expansion of its territory, Parthia moved the capital several times. BC 147, moved the capital to Ek Platthana (now Hamadan). In 90 BC, he moved the capital to Taixifeng. Mithradati I (reigned before 17 1 ~ 138) first attacked the kingdom of Bactria in Central Asia and consolidated the eastern territory. Then it pushed westward, occupied Medea and the northwestern provinces of Iran, and finally entered Seleucia on the Tigris River in BC 14 1. At this time, the western empire was bounded by the Euphrates River and confronted Rome. Northeast China is connected with Kangju and Da Yue; Kandahar is occupied in the southeast, extending to the Indian border. Parthia is the only place on the Silk Road across the Asian continent, and it benefits from transit trade economically. Pattaya has always maintained friendly relations with China. In 65438 BC+065438 BC+05 BC, the Han Dynasty sent envoys to Pattaya, and Mithradati II ordered 20,000 cavalry to meet Dongjiang. In 87 AD, King Pattaya sent a special envoy to China to worship lions and pluck their hair. From 65438 to 048 AD, Prince An Qing (Zi Shigao) came to China to spread Buddhism, and he translated many kinds of scriptures.
In the west, Parthia faced hostile Rome. In 53 BC, crassus Deavers, the commander-in-chief of Rome, led his troops across the Euphrates River on the border between the two countries, but he was defeated in Calais and crassus Deavers and his son were killed. In the following three centuries, Parthia and Rome were still at war from time to time.
/kloc-0 At the beginning of the 20th century, Parthia entered the so-called "anti-Hellenization" period. Prior to this, the ruling class of Parthia pursued the enjoyment of the Greek way, used the Greek language, appreciated Greek dramas and advocated Greek customs; However, most of the conquered areas have not been infiltrated by Greek culture and have always maintained the ancient Iranian cultural tradition. When Parthia's kingship declined, provincial governors and tribal leaders became independent (18 small kingdoms appeared after the middle of the 20th century), and the awakening of national consciousness became the mainstream. Meanwhile, the Parthians accepted Zoroastrianism.
The last king of Parthia was Artabanus V (reign time 2 13 ~ 224). He beat back the invading Romans and invaded Rome, forcing the Roman emperor to make peace with a large sum of money. At this time, the Sassanian family in Rilu has risen, and Mount Arda extends to Isfahan in the north and Kerman in the east. Ardaban and Ardahir fought three wars. In 224, the Parthian Empire was destroyed in the Battle of Zida, Holmi, northwest of Isfahan.
