Parthian army

Army of the Parthian Empire (247 BC – 224 AD)

The Parthian army was the army of the Parthian Empire. Having no standing army, the Arsacid king mainly relied on his vassal kings, regional and tribal lords, and garrison commanders. Mercenaries were also sometimes used in the army; however, this was only when the forces of the king were found lacking, or when a vassal refused to cooperate. The leader of the army was the king, his son, or a spahbed selected from one of the great houses.
