À propos de ce contenu audio
In 53 BCE, one of Rome’s wealthiest and most ambitious men marched east in search of glory. Instead, he led his army into one of the most devastating defeats in Roman history.
At the Battle of Carrhae, Marcus Licinius Crassus faced the formidable Parthian Empire — a force unlike anything Rome had encountered before. In the scorching desert, Roman legions clashed with Parthian horse archers and cataphracts in a battle that redefined ancient warfare.
What followed was chaos, destruction, and a shocking end that would echo across the ancient world.
In this episode, we explore the road to Carrhae, the battle itself, its lasting consequences for the Roman Republic, and the rise of Parthia.
What if Rome had won?
