First published in 1893, this sweeping historical account of ancient Parthia (which encompassed most of modern-day Iran as well as parts of Iraq and Afghanistan) details the history, ethnography, government, and culture of an empire that was ancient Rome's most formidable obstacle to eastward expansion. Aided by a wealth of maps and illustrations, Rawlinson documents the ebb and flow of empire, providing vivid accounts of the Parthians' battles with Rome and a window into a civilization that lasted five centuries. Appointed proctor of Canterbury in the late 19th century, British scholar and historian GEORGE RAWLINSON (1812-1902) wrote a variety of historical works, including The Five Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World, Manual of Ancient History, The Origin of Nations, and History of Ancient Egypt.

Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... "the Parthians," according to one writer of high repute, " have left no material traces of their existence." 1 When the Achaemenian Persians were struck down by Alexander, " the old arts," he says, "disappeared from the Mesopotamian world." It would be strange indeed if so broad a statement could be justified, when made of any time or of any distinguished people. Roughly and coarsely, no doubt, it embodies a certain curious and important fact--the fact, namely, that the Parthians were, in no full or pregnant sense of.the terms, either builders or proficients in any of the fine arts. But it is an overstatement, a very considerable exaggeration. The position held by the Parthians in numismatics should, alone have been sufficient to save them from the undeserved reproach, since numismatists have long had under their notice many hundred types of coins issued from Parthian mints during the five centuries of their sovereignty, and have assigned to several of them a fair amount of merit . Careful inquiry shows, as might have been expected, that in other branches PARTHIAN ARCHITECTURE. 373 1 Sie Fergusson, " History of Architecture," vol. ii. p. 422. of art also, and especially in architecture, Parthia made efforts and produced results not wholly despicable. The remains at Hatra, or El Hadhr, are the most imposing which can reasonably be assigned to the Parthian period. Hatra first comes into notice in the early part of the first century before Christ, and is then a place of no small importance. It successfully resists Trajan in A.D. 116, and Severus in A.D. 198. It is then described as a large and populous city, defended by strong and extensive walls, and containing within it a famous Temple of the Sun, celebrated for the great value of its...
