Parthia (Imperator Augustus)

Roman expansion has led to the subjugation of Armenia and the virtual disappearance of the once-great Seleucids, leaving Parthia as the major power in the east. Parthian culture bears the features of many fallen empires and distant peoples; its position on the Silk Road has swelled its coffers to bursting point, and its cavalry archers, with their superb tactics and deadly composite bows, have recently dealt Rome one of the heaviest defeats in its history. Now that Mark Antony has Rome itself in his sights, the time is right for bold expansion!
