About this ebook
The great Parthian Civil War is over, leaving behind an empire exhausted by years of bloodshed. But no sooner have hostilities ended than Armenia, the client state of Rome, declares war on the empire and unleashes its army against Parthia.
Even Dura’s mighty army cannot stave off a series of defeats as the enemies of Parthia circle the empire like hungry wolves. And Pacorus knows that Marcus Licinius Crassus is also marching east to extend Rome’s rule from the Euphrates to the Indus and enslave the whole of Parthia.
The scene is set for a final showdown on the battlefield of Carrhae, a clash that will decide the destinies of two empires and two men.
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website.
