The Crimean Slave Trade

 When most people think of the slave trade, they think of the transatlantic slave trade. However, there was another huge slave trade. For hundreds of years, slave traders raided Ukraine and Southern Russia, and slaves were sold in Crimea.

Battle of Hormozdgan

 On 28 April 224 AD, the Sassanids defeated the Parthians at the battle of Hormozdgan in Iran. The Parthians had ruled Iraq and Iran for 400 years. The Sassanids conquered Iraq and Iran and ruled them for 400 years until the Arabs invaded. The Parthians and the Sassanids were both powerful empires. Both were enemies of Rome, and they fought the Romans several times. I heard about an earlier empire, the Persian Empire, when I was young, mostly because they fought the Greeks. But I never heard about the later empires in the region, the Parthians and the Sassanids.

At school, I was taught a very Eurocentric version of history. I was told that the Romans conquered most of the known world, which isn’t true. I was not told that the Roman Empire had powerful rivals, the Parthian Empire, followed by the Sassanid Empire. As I said, I heard about the Persian Empire, but it was a very biased version of history in which the Greeks were the goodies and the Persians were the baddies.
