After all, most of the failed instances we know of were public figures or famous/infamous in some capacity (Emperors, Pharaohs, good ol' Herostratus, etc.). To put it another way (and to link it to Zalendra's remark on Ramanauskas): the Soviets probably purged a fair amount of people from memory, just not the ones that they really, really wanted to erase.

Though this was the excuse that the two sides gave for stopping the fight, it does seem remarkably.. stupid? I wrote the episode and my personal take on it was that the two sides just realised "Ok this isn't gonna go anywhere." So, they needed an excuse to stop and they found it, blaming a dead man who couldn't defend himself. It gives the Parthians the honour they need to pull away and it gives the Romans the excuse to get out of it.

Michael Riddick there wasn’t much battle because it was completely internal matter,the parthians were still in power at Sassanids empire the only thing that change is that Arsacids(Parthian head of states with political ideology of democracy and parliamentary empire)overthrown by Iranians(parhian+persian +median+...)and Sassanids (persian head of States with ideology of theocratic empire and unity of religion with nation) came in to power and take the palaces and throne of the Arsacids in Ancient Iran.dynasty change same people same country same nation same culture and same religions but Sassanids want to make everyone zoroastrianism , they weren’t human(globalization )supporters like parthians.

The history of Emperor Caracalla is actually interesting. It is important to note that Caracalla was known for being a huge fanboy of Alexander the great. His obsession changed his legion (Primarily Legio II Parthica) to Macedonian based phalangites known as "Phalangarii" which claimed by Cassius Dio and Herodian. I would've shown him marching with his Pikemen but this matter is debatable whether the term Phalangarii meant Pikemen or just ordinary spearmen. Not only that, Caracalla went to Egypt to imitate Alexander's pilgrimage but as soon as he arrived in Alexandria, he was insulted by the population (mostly Geta supporters) which resulted in a massive massacre in Alexandria by Caracalla. As Caracalla reached near Nisibis, he was murdered while urinating by his Praetorian prefect - Macrinus. ( Tldr; So yeah, Caracalla was an edgy Alexander fanboy :) ) As always, here are ROME II and Attila mods which we used solely for this video: - Leonardo's Third Century Crisis reskin -Divide et Impera - Benjin's AAA Roman General - Mobjay's Golden Emblem - GEMFX - Petellius' Enhanced Particle Attila TW: - The Fall of the Eagles EDİT: I added few more mods on the list.

The roman-parthian conflicts are so interesting, because two major different military strategies, the roman heavy infantry focus, and the parthian light missile cavalry focus, clashed together. Both had advantages and disadvantages even tho i'd say that the parthian military is better adapted to the Iranian geography. Still if was tough for both sides to defeat the enemy (if their leaders weren't complete idiots). Yes the romans managed to capture Mesopotamia more than once but the cost of holding it and founding civilian roman rule simply were too high, and one reason were their high casualties at the battle field. They *could* win against he Parthian but it was simply too costly. Its just surprising that Germania has the reputation of being the biggest enemy that Rome never managed to conquer (which is wrong btw, after the battle of the Teutorborg Forest the romans won almost all major campaigns against the germans up until the romans gave up on expansion altogether). This "honor" really belongs to the Parthians that actually managed to keep the romans (even at the height of their power) at bay for most of the time.

For 100's of years the parthians were just itching for a major Mediterranean Port, while the Roman's were super jelly of those silk road trade routes to India/China. If only they were able to overcome tensions and forge an actual peace treaty,. Maybe after having their economies so intricately entwined they could have settled in and prospered. With their Eastern/Western borders secured they would have been able to defend against the Germans for Rome, the Hepthalites for Parthia/Sassanids and the universal threat that northern nomads always represent.

And then later we have Ardeshir I against Artabanus V. Parthian were excellent at fighting as it has been speculated a lot of characters in the Book of the Kings (Shahname) are from this era. They introduced new tactics to the world, Parthian shot, Cataphract, and even though the hit-and-run tactic was not something related only to Parthians, the tactic was first used massively by them. However, due to their style of ruling, there were always civil wars. If they had a powerful centralized administrative system like the later Sassanids, They really could have posed a serious threat to Roman empire especially in Asia minor.

@@martytu20 But the Sassanids had the upper hands against the Romans most of the time, and they were constantly raiding Levant and the Anatolia especially eastern part. You have to notice that Iranian dynasties, both Parthians and Sassanids were better at open battlefield because they relied more on cavalry while roman were better at siege warfare. That is why Romans had problems facing Iranians in Mesopotamia but almost every time Iranians tried to conquer Levant, they were defeated. Moreover, Iranian dynasties were often fighting at least in two fronts while Romans's main enemy were Iranians. In one occasion, Iranian had to face Romans in the west, steppe poeple in the north and Hephtalites and Turkic Khaganate in the east. So if Iranians could not conquer more lands in Asia minor, it was not only because they lacked the capability to defeat the Romans, but they had to divide their armies all over the empire. Besides, I don't think Romans and then later Eastern Roman empire were weak at all. Plus both Roman and Sassanids were defeated by Muslims not just Sassanids.

@@KingsandGenerals I understand, it's still a pretty funny choice of words to use in that context.

That was immensely fascinating.

Came back from a trip to Indonesia. Oh boy soo many videos to watch from you guys.

I wish you had covered the Persian perspective a bit more.

Very good video as usual!

Good timing! I had recently finished these events in Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast.

it's such a good listen! too bad the video stopped just short of elagabalus's reign, since that might be one of the high points of the show. Revolutions is great too

In order to be a successful Roman Emperor, one must learn advanced hide and seek skills.

Another great video. Hoping for more videos on Chinese history especially if they are about Qin Shi Huang or the Hongwu Emperor.

Excellent video, in terms of everything

Kings and Generals Roman history video, a great way to end the day. I had a rough day but this video cured me Thanks:>

@@raysanele4538 actually, Sassanid's army during the Muslim invasion didn't have the Parthian tactics of hit and run and it was so similar to the Romans plus elephant orientation but it was never the same as Parthians which was unique and defensive and not offensively.

Great! Thanks kings and generals❤

I am really impressed by the reconstruction of those portraits of warriors on both sides. That music in the end also brought much nostalgia to the battlefield. So sad I am leaving the US and about to withdraw my debit card here. I plan to make a one time donation to you guys. Later I have to temporarily revoke the patronage until I obtain my new visa card back in China so that I can support your work again.

It's a great video and channel. However, it is a pitty how little it has been said about Julia Domna. She was the real leader of the Empire, not just during Caracalla's reign, not also during Severus's reign. She was a formidable woman, who overshadowed all important roman political figures at the time.

As a Persian it makes my head spin a little when I think of all the things we have done. Eternal Iran, paayande Iran...

Keep 'em coming.

Nice video. Now I am even more curious about the rise and fall of Parthia and the rise of the Sassanids.

Could you also do the battle of satalia in 298? Information is rare on it but it was probably, considering the following treaty of nisibis that lasted for 60 years, the most decisive victory any of the two powers could ever gain during their 700 years struggle.

So can anyone explain why Caracalla slaughtered the population of Alexandria? Did they offend him in some manner or was he just capricious?

His expectation when traveling to Alexanders grave was probably to be received like a second Alexander by the inhabitants of the city.
