{i} ancient country in western Asia that was conquered by the Persians in AD 226 (occupied the northwestern region of present-day Iran)
Ancient land, southwestern Asia. Corresponding roughly to modern northeastern Iran, it formed a province of the Persian Achaemenian dynasty and later of the empire of Alexander the Great. After the dissolution of the Seleucid dynasty 250 BC, a new Parthian kingdom was founded by Arsaces. The Arsacid dynasty ruled until it was overthrown by the Ssnian dynasty AD 226. At its height in the early 1st century BC, it was known as the Parthian empire and included the area between the Euphrates and Indus rivers and between the Amu Darya and the Arabian Sea. It was weakened by internal disorder and by conflict with Rome in the 1st century BC. One of its later capitals was Hecatompylos. The ruins of Ctesiphon, another major Parthian city, are in modern Iraq, near Baghdad. The Parthians were famous as horsemen and archers
