PARTHIAN EMPIRE
250 BC
- 226 AD



The founder of the Parthian Empire was Arsaces I, who was king of Parthia around 250-211 BC.


The years 60-68 AD saw successful campaigns of the Roman general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo against the Parthians.


In 224 AD, the last Parthian king Artabanus V was killed in battle by Ardashir I, who thus ended the Parthian Empire and established the Sasanid Empire.
