Produced by David Widger "The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 6: Parthia" by George Rawlinson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume specifically details the geography, culture, and history of Parthia, an ancient region that played a significant role in the tapestry of Eastern ancient civilizations. The book aims to explore the dynamics of Parthian society, their relationships with their neighbors, and the complexities of their rise to power. The opening of the volume delves into the geography of Parthia, describing its diverse landscape that includes fertile mountain regions and valleys between harsh deserts. Rawlinson paints a vivid picture of the natural resources and agricultural potential of the area, suggesting that it was well-suited for the establishment of a robust civilization. He outlines the boundaries of Parthia as it aligns with modern geographic regions and touches upon its historical significance during different eras, emphasizing the region's strategic importance and the challenges it faced throughout history, particularly under the influence of the Persian Empire. This foundation sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the Parthian kingdom and its eventual prominence in the ancient world.
