  The Parthians are a little-known ancient civilization. They were nomadic horse-warriors who left few written records, concentrating rather on a rich oral tradition. This book examines the origins of the Parthians, their history, religion and culture, as well as perceptions of their empire through the lens of both imperial Rome and China.
