Quickly adapting to new realities, the Parthians created a solid political system. Various symbolic systems - Babylonian, Iranian, nomadic, Hellenistic - formed the basis for the new state. Whom did the ancient Parthians consider themselves to be the heirs of - the Achaemenids or the Hellenistic Seleucid conquerors? How are Greek philosophy and the fading practices of Babylonia related? And, finally, how did the model created by the Parthians stand the test of external threats? The video is dedicated to the history of Parthia after the reign of Mithridates I and until the end of the reign of Mithridates II
