Happy Wednesday everyone!

Just finished Reign of Arrows: The Rise of the Parthian Empire in the Hellenistic Middle East , by Nikolaus Leo Overtoom, and I absolutely loved it!

Although the book leans more on the academic style of writing, I personally found that it flows quite well. I quite enjoyed the author's framing of Parthian history against the contexts of the Hellenistic world, geopolitics, and even political theory.
