When Rome Met Persia

Not gonna do the whole book review thing yet (that'll be part two) but here's what I read for this video: Crassus by Peter Stothard Rome's Wars in Parthia by Rose Mary Sheldon Rome & Parthia: Empires at War by Gareth C.

23:34 parthians had a senate called the anjoman e Mehestan (Mehestan Assembly ) from what I have read it was a senate where the most powerful man gathered (including the emperor ) and decided really important matters (declaring war selecting the next emperor etc) and the reason that we dont know much about pre islam persia is that most of the books where burned by the invading arabs(this is one of the reasons persian hate arab people)

You have to talk about the parthian Envoys response to Crassus at Carrhae: Asked by the Parthian ambassador the reason for this unprovoked war, Crassus boasted that he would tell him in Seleucia, the western capital of the empire, to which the envoy "burst out laughing and said, pointing to the palm of his upturned hand: 'O Crassus, hair will grow there before thou shalt see Seleucia'" The envoys line is still an idiom/phrase used in modern persian to this day!!!
