Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to reveal the scheming and plotting behind the veneer of the narrative of an earth-changing era in Roman history, in a new way, by demonstrating that Roman and Parthian worlds influenced, and impinged upon, each other in ways not always covered in extant modern literature. Methodology: The methodology applied throughout this article is that of historical analysis, using ancient sources in light of modern scholarship. However, this is done in a unique, learned sense, in that it seeks to look at the period covered by this article in a more broad sens

Abstract:

The River Araxes In the Roman Poetry The Araxes flowing through the Armenian Highlands was one of the rivers mentioned quite often in Roman poetry from the Augustan Age up to the 5th century. In line with the traditional tendency of classical literature, the Araxes was usually shown as a pars pro toto of a country, in this case Armenia, which was one of the aims of the Roman eastern policy and the object of rivalry between the Empire and Parthia/Persia. The great majority of references to the Araxes was connected with the theme of Roman expansion in the East (especially with the campaign

Abstract:

From the moment Rome established contacts with the Parthian empire in the 1st century BC, its relations with the eastern neighbour became one of the most important points of Roman foreign policy. Attempts to subjugate Parthia ended in Rome’s crushing defeat at Carrhae in 53 BC. Having taken over power in the Roman Republic, Octavian Augustus became much more active in his oriental policy, wishing to erase the shame brought upon Rome by the defeat. The peace treaty signed in 20 BC was the Emperor’s diplomatic success and was presented as a great triumph by the Roman propaganda. In this paper, I

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper makes two arguments. The first is that Trajan deliberately orchestrated the dedication of his Column on 12 May, the anniversary of the dedication of the Temple of Mars Ultor, to coincide with the beginning of a new war against Parthia ina.d. 113. The second is that although most modern commentators focus on the function of Mars Ultor as avenger of Caesar, the evidence of his actual invocation from the late first centuryb.c. through the third centurya.d. more strongly supports another interpretation: as agent of vengeance against foreign enemies, and against Parthia/Persia in

Abstract:

Cyrus was a prominent reference point in later Greek and Latin literature, both as a major historical figure and as an idealized ruler. Through the Roman period in their relations with Parthian and Sasanians, contemporary conflicts were often cast through the lens of the conflicts between Achaemenid Persians and Greeks, especially Xerxes’ invasion of Greece in 480–479. It is notable that Cyrus alone of the early Persian kings retained positive press in almost all sources, from any region, that spoke about him. Ironically, Cyrus became almost invisible, but his legacy still powerful, within ind

Abstract:

Abstract The writings produced in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean in the first millennium bc document how many vernaculars, each with its own script, were used simultaneously and that the region was characterized by its multilingualism (a feature true throughout its history). The interactions with the cosmopolitan tradition preserved by a succession of empires (Assyrian, Babylonian, Achaemenid, Seleucid, and Parthian) show a range of attitudes that can be analyzed through a postcolonial lens as forms of resistance. For most genres of writing the switch to the vernacular required choice
