Carrhae: The Day Rome’s Ambition Met Parthia’s Arrows

In 53 BCE, Marcus Licinius Crassus—one of Rome’s wealthiest men—marched into the Mesopotamian desert seeking glory to rival Caesar and Pompey. Instead, he found a tactical nightmare. The Battle of Carrhae wasn't just a defeat; it was a total breakdown of Roman military doctrine against the Parthian "system" of horse archers and cataphracts. From Crassus's refusal of local advice to the tragic fate of his son Publius, we explore how logistics, ego, and a superior battlefield "rhythm" led to one of the Roman Republic’s darkest hours. In this video, we cover: The political stakes of the First Triumvirate. The clash between the Roman Testudo and Parthian mobility. The ingenious logistical feat that kept Parthian arrows flying. The geopolitical aftershocks that reached the halls of Rome.
