The Siege of Nisibis: When Persian Ships Sailed on Desert Sand 

Just like most of the rest of history😅

Lol, open a book.

It just wouldn't be a proper Sassanid related video if it didn't have you leaving a comment below

@@proconsul6840 Well i enjoy the subject a lot. Relationship between the “two eyes of the world” is really underrated in historical subjects.

​@@althesian9741 It's overrated.

​@@genovayork2468 To be honest almost everything about the Sassanian empire is underrated.

@@lambert801 Its relationship with Rome is overrated because Rome is overrated. No, the Sassanid empire is not really underrated. If you think it is underrated, you know little history.

You're very welcome!

Thank you!

Thank you! This was a lot of fun to research too

Augustus did enact laws incentivising marriage and childbirth and penalising the opposite, but i don't know if this was a birth rate thing, an attempt to foster a larger population in future or in effect basically a morality law Roman noble families did have a bad habit of going extinct throughout much of the late republic and imperial periods though, that's something documented

"Iberia" was an exonym, apparently the Greeks called both places Iberia for some unknown reason. The "Iberians" on the Caspian sea called their nation Kartli but the Romans called it Iberia. "Albania" is also a name the Greeks gave the region, and it also is unclear why. It's thought that the locals called the place something along the lines of "Alhuwank". Back in Greco-Roman times, what we call Albania today was known as Illyria, just to add some further confusion. You can find out more about these kingdoms by googling "Caucasian Iberia" and "Caucasian Albania". And for the ancient history of Balkan Albania, look up "Illyrians" (and avoid any wild pseudo history written by Albanian conspiracy theorists and ultra nationalists, you will stumble across them).

@@marcdigiambattista751 You might well be right, but the most commonly accepted etymolgy of the "Spanish" Iberia is that it comes from the river "Ebro", which flows into the Mediterranean just south of Catalonia.

Iberia turned into Georgia, and Albania assimilated into Armenia mostly with some descendents (Udis). They both disappeared long before the modern country of Albania and Spanish Iberia.

​@@marcdigiambattista751 I think the Greeks called that region 'Albania' because of its native population-the Alans. The Persians called that region _Arran._ It's very common for the sounds [R] and [L] to be replaced by one another when getting borrowed from another language (or even as a result of natural linguistic evolution). I don't know why the Greeks called it Albania and not "Alania," but such "anomalous" linguistic developments aren't uncommon.

You're actually incorrect, but I don't blame you for thinking that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_Albania

Lol, imagine you being this stupid.
