What's the difference between a Parthian, Persian, Sassanid and Iranian?
I am interested in learning about the differences between a Parthian, Persian, Sassanid, and Iranian. Can you explain it to me?
Sure! Parthian refers to the ancient Parthian Empire that was founded in 247 BC and lasted until 224 AD. Persian, on the other hand, refers to the Persian Empire that existed from 550-330 BC and then later as a part of other empires such as the Sasanian Empire. The Sasanian Empire was founded in 224 AD and lasted till 651 AD. Iranian is a modern term used to refer to the people and country of Iran. It’s not connected to any specific historical empire or kingdom.
