<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2541205, member: 81887&quot;]Bob L. gives a good explanation of the whole Phraataces/Musa situation.&nbsp; Unfortunately, it&#039;s hard to find reliable modern narrative history for the Parthians in the same way that one can for the Roman emperors or Hellenistic monarchs.&nbsp; Despite its age, and consequently being superseded by more recent scholarship in some places, my favorite book on Parthian and Sasanian history is &quot;The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World; or, The History, Geography, and Antiquities of Chaldaea, Assyria, Babylon, Media, Persia, Parthia, and Sassanian, or New Persian Empire.&nbsp; By George Rawlinson, M.A., Camden Professor of Ancient History in the University of Oxford.&quot;&nbsp; Written c. 1875, it is available for free download through Project Gutenberg, and the Parthian section is available as a reprint from Amazon.&nbsp; Fred Shore&#039;s book on Parthian coinage, from 1993, also has a good discussion of the history and culture of the Parthians.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a good recent book on Sasanian history by Touraj Darayee, &quot;Sasanian Persia: The Rise and Fall of an Empire&quot;, but I don&#039;t know of any similar recent comprehensive history of Parthia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
