Legacies of Ancient Persia

Dr. Jake Nabel, a professor of Classics at Pennsylvania State University, joins Lexie to discuss and provide a short introduction to the Parthian empire and who we should know, the unique challenges to studying the Parthians (since most texts are from the Greeks and Romans), and why the Parthians are often left out of modern media and how we can start to change that.
