The Parthian Empire in the 2nd century
The Parthian Kingdom (also known as Arsacid, by the name of its ruling dynasty) rose to prominence c. 247 BCE in the vacuum created by the collapse of the Seleucid Empire. In the centuries that followed, the Parthian Empire grew to encompass most of Mesopotamia and the southeastern part of Central Asia. The Parthians became a major rival for Rome in its drive for control of Armenia and primacy in the East until 224 CE, when the murder of the last Parthian ruler ushered the rise of the Sasanian Persian Empire.
