Historical background


PARTHIA - PARTHIAN KINGDOM - PACORUS II

(78-120)

Pacorus seems to have been a usurper who revolted against the authority of Vologèse I, in October 77. After the disappearance of Vologèse I, he also had to face Artaban III. He is one of the rare Arsacid monarchs to appear beardless, which could indicate that he took power very young. Pacorus II establishes a new trade route to reach China, a sea route from Charax and the Euphrates estuary to replace the old land route of the "silk road" which has become dangerous. He disappears when the Roman Empire in the person of Trajan discovers a new conqueror in the image of Alexander the Great..
