The Battle of Carrhae was fought in 53 BC between the Roman Republic and the Parthian Empire near the ancient town of Carrhae. An invading force of seven legions of Roman heavy infantry under Marcus Licinius Crassus was lured into the desert and decisively defeated by a mixed cavalry army of heavy cataphracts and light horse archers led by the Parthian general Surena. On such flat terrain, the Legion proved to have no viable tactics against the highly-mobile Parthian horsemen, and the slow and vulnerable Roman formations were surrounded, exhausted by constant attacks, and eventually crushed

There needs to be a more clear definition of what ‘Persian’ is. Predecessor to Parthian Empire was Greek Seleucid Empire and successor of Parthian Empire was Persian Empire - Sassanid Empire

Imagine how terrifying it was seeing thousands of arrows flying through sky, just to rain upon you. In teh hostile hot desert climate, the Romans surely experienced the hell on earth!
Considering all the hell they unleashed, what comes around goes around.

We Iranians are always proud to have had a great General like a brave Sorena in our proud history 🔥❤️☀️💚✌🏾recpcat to all From Iran 🙏🏽
They absolutely wasted those Romans. A proud moment that is forever in their history.
To say Crassus and his legions bit off more than they could chew is an understatement.
It scarily reminds me of today.
Parthia is Iran. They are an Iranian peoples and called their country "IranShahr".
Rome (US) thought because Armenia and the Pontus fell, that IranShahr would too.
It ended in the most humiliating defeat in Roman history -arguably.

Париж приостанавливает финансирование БАПОРа - ближневосточного регионального агентства ООН по делам палестинских беженцев, передает телеканал "Си-эн-эн".
"Франция не планирует новый платеж на первую половину 2024 года", - говорится в сообщении Министерства иностранных дел.
В ведомстве указали на израильские обвинения сотрудников БАПОРа в причастности к нападению на южные районы Израиля 7 октября под руководством ХАМАСа, назвав обвинения "исключительно серьезными".
Таким образом, Франция присоединилась к другим странам-донорам, приостановившим финансовую поддержку БАПОРа в свете обвинений:
Соединенным Штатам;
Германии;
Канаде;
Италии;
Великобритании;
Нидерландам;
Швейцарии;
Австралии;
Финляндии.
Ирландия и Норвегия заявляют, что продолжат финансировать ближневосточное агентство ООН.
Как отмечает "Си-эн-эн", в 2023 году Франция перевела БАПОРу почти 60 миллионов евро.
Напомним, в последние дни израильские власти передали руководству ООН список сотрудников БАПОРа в Газе (разумеется, местных арабов), которые тем или иным образом были причастны к резне, устроенной ХАМАСом 7 октября.
Эти факты, в принципе, вполне ожидаемые для тех, кому более-менее известна ситуация в Газе, вызвали резкое недовольство среди правительств западных стран, финансирующих работу БАПОРа.

Imagine. And imagine also another of his grand plans was to make the legionaries more frightened of him than of the enemy. He liked to practice decimation. He was nothing if not metric.

The Parthian Shot took the Romans totally by surprise
Battle of Carrhae was a terrible defeat for the Romans where an army of 1/3rd the size annihilated them. Crassus himself was captured and made to drink molten gold, a fitting end for the richest nan in Rome. This was the same Crassus that defeated Spartacus and crucified 5000 of his soldiers along the Appiab Way to Rome. Perhaps it was fitting that he met an equally awful death. The Parthians were the one enemy that Rome could never defeat, even under the great emperor and general Trajan.
It was 43,000 Romans vs 10,000 Iranian Parthians
Romans outnumbered them more than 4 to 1
Crassus made to drink gold is a myth and any general commanding a mounted army of archers fighting foot soldiers would ride round and round firing arrows at them.
بله داداش. ایران را هیچ نیروی در جهان نمیتواند شکست دهد. ایران تنها کشور واقعی در طول تاریخ است.ایران پایتخت تمدن بشری است. ایران بزرگترین نیروی رزم پیاده نظام را دارد که هر قدرتی را در هم میشکند . هر کلمه ای در زبان شما استفادع میشود از زبان ایرانی و پارسی گرفته شده. ایران تنها کشور تاریخ است که یک کشور واقعی است. همیشع پاینده و استوار باشید
@@trevorhunton7526 The myth part you have right. But it was standard practice for archers to fire at the heavy infantry which would stand their ground waiting for the enemy to run out of arrows...as the video makes clear, Surena took the unusual step of maintaining a nearly inexhaustible supply of arrows.

What was more frightening for the Romans was that they had to flee at night while leaving many of their wounded in the camp, who had been paralyzed by the terrible pain inflicted by the Parthians' arrows on their flesh. It was at this time that they realized that in the darkness of the night, their comrades were going to make these helpless people a prey to the enemy by escaping.

You didn't finish the story. Crassus did not escape. He was captured by the Parthians who were acquainted with his reputation for accumulating great wealth. They forced him to drink molten gold.
Indeed, we’ll cover it in a documentary series at some point
Yes they port melted gold down his throat since he wanted gold they gave him some but later on his son got revenge for his father death
Forced to drink molten gold?! Me myself will die alone if forced to drink a boiling water! 😰😰😰😰

Fantastic video. The scenes where the heavy Parthian cavalry slams into the Roman lines was great. Your cinematography for these videos is always well done. Thanks for uploading these videos and the work you do!
Здесь недосказанность и неточность. Красс был взят в плен и римляне внесли за него огромный выкуп. Потому что эта битва показала истинное положение, когда римляне столкнулись с настоящей боевой машиной парфян. Кстати Парфия создана сакскими племенами. Современные туркмены отчасти потомки парфян. После поражения от парфян римляне уже не совались на Восток.
Well done. I've watched a number of videos on the Battle of Carrhae, and yours is the only one that showed Surena using his cataphracts to attack the Roman formation. It is my understanding that Publius Crasuss led the charge of near 5000 Roman calvary, and the Parthian's destroyed them all. Then, one of the Parthian's rode around the Roman's formation with Publius' head on a spear.

Descendants of Greeks and Macedonians were the leaders of the Parthian empire, in union with descendants of the Persian empire. An important division of the empire founded by Alexander the Great. Years later the Huns copied these Parthian tactics.

Iran : The Aryan people consisted of three clans, Medes, Persians, and Parthians (Mad , Pars , Part)
If you look carefully, the name of one of these is different from the other two, because their language is different, the Medes are the ancestors of the current Azerbaijan people, whose capital is the city of Hamadan today, in the inscriptions, the name of this city has been translated by the western historians in a Hekmatana , the original name Hökümathana . Is. The name of the king of Medes is Azhdar_Agha and the name of his daughter Mand_Ana
Pars : Fars , Shiraz , Pasargadae
The name of the king of Pars is Hekhamenesh and his son is Kambyz
Mandana marries Kambyz and goes to Pars, a group of Mandana's family and relatives also go to Pars with her and live there until today (il Qashqai or Kashkai)
These two have a child named Cyrus who establishes the Achaemenid Empire
Part : khorasan, Sistan & Beluchestan
A few years after the fall of the Achaemenids by Alexander, the Parthians led by Arshak or Arkash (Arash) fight the Romans and establish the Parthian Empire of Iran.

The Battle of Carrhes is one of the most famous defeats in Roman history. However, it had little impact on the Roman presence in the East and its importance can be explained above all by the place it occupied in collective memory. Why did the Romans consider the defeat a disaster for their honor? In fact, the battle must be distinguished from its place in Roman tradition. In order to avenge the defeat, Augustus invented the disaster of Carrhes by giving it a meaning that the battle did not have before. At this time, the Parthians suddenly appeared in the Roman imagination as formidable enemies. During and after the reign of Augustus, the Romans made the Battle of Carrhes an exemplary event but were not always able to learn the lessons of their failure.

Erro "Crasso"!
It's a miss opportunity that you should show more Cataphract charging scene rather than the Roman to show that how terrifying it is to face these full armoured metal horseman where Roman never fight before.
I'm saying this is because the Parthia Cataphract is too underrated today despite it being the only heavy armour cavalry in ancient world. Maybe you can help bring more light to these wonderful metal horseman
The Parthian cataphracts actually weren't used much in this battle because they were outnumbered over 40-1 in close combat
Instead, Surena used them to provoke Romans into breaking their defensive position by themselves and chase after them not to win the fight or break through
They were shock troops and actually good at close fighting but 1,000 cataphracts charging straight toward 35,000 heavy infantry with the intention to brake their line is nothing but suicide and foolishness
Exactly the Roman’s weren’t used to these kind of fighting. They literally shot arrows at them till the sun went down. Camels were used to supply the archers. Parthia knew if they go toe to toe with Rome the legions would grind them down.
@@sanele2948 Oh yeah of course when the balance of forces is 1 to 40 in your favor, of course, the legions will grind those tiny numbers down
So Surena did the master plan and used his brain rather than his tiny bits of brute force
Kudos to him
Long live Persians 🇮🇷 🇹🇯 and Khorossan 💪
Carrhae was won by superior logistics and TECHNOLOGY (yes IRANIAN heavy cataphracts, bows and armor-piercing arrows were superior to European); the slave-crucifying Roman billionnaire Crassus had to die drinking molten gold. And YES, Carrhae was the most crushing Roman defeat ever, only 10,000 Iranians (!) massacred and demoralized 40,000 Romans (in contrast, Teutoburg was evenly matched, with German tribals relying on brute force). Parthians, Achaemenids, Scythian, Sassanids, Median, Safavids, .. all Iranian (we say "Persian") dynasties, all the very same great Iranian Empire that we Westerners still shamefully refuse to acknowledge, even today in 2023 AD. Where are the movies about the amazing Iranian Empire?? Iran, the origin of Human Rights and cultural and religious freedom, is an epic all-time titan of human civilization. Respect to IRAN!!
Safavids was a foreign dynasty & Sassanids weren't tolerant at all.

Wrong. It was well demonstrated during Ventidius' campaign that it was suicidal for the cataphtacts to get in close range with the legions. The cataphract clash on the Roman infantry never took place. And to see cataphracts galloping is like seeing lions flying. They were HEAVY cavalry, armoured the horse and armoured the rider. Plutarch gives a most probable account. The parthian cavalry attacked the legions from a distance and fainted a retreat to lure the gallic cavalry away from the army. This way they atracted them to a spot where the cataphracts were waiting like an armoured wall. And it is very well described how the Roman cavalry could not break the cataphract formation and lost their horses probably because their orders were to kill the Roman horses with their extra long kontos.

Great account - u really capture the wide sweep of battle telling the strategic implications as well as the personal drama too!
Simple but beautiful plan by the Parthians - bring oh say about a million arrows...
100 стрел на 1 лучника - это не так уж и много.
Просто гениальная подготовка к войне.
Roman legions were heavy infantry, they met a mobile force and thousands of archers. That is why Roman soldiers lost.
Parthia=Iran. Parthians =An Iranian dynasty
parthian casualties not mentioned: below 1000
One of the most epic battle in world history.
A member of the Triumvirate died in this battle and after which the First _Triumvirate_ came to an abrupt end
Crassus was that person (member of the Triumvirate) who died in this Battle of Carrhae
of course Pompey and Julius Caesar were the two surviving remnants of that Triumvirate {these two people never went to the Battle of Carrhae in the first place; the very reason (sheer reason) why Crassus undertook the dangerous Battle of Carrhae was because Crassus realized that Julius Caesar's victory against the Gallic tribes has made Caesar a hero in the eyes of the public and so therefore Crassus needs a big military campaign of his own ---- a campaign which also needs to be successful}
