Quel rôle la dynastie iranienne des Parthes arsacides a-t-elle joué dans le développement de la Route de la Soie, et dans le contrôle du commerce le long de cette Route ? La première route continentale de la soie, des portes de la Chine jusqu'à la Syrie et les côtes de la méditerranée orientale, s'est ouverte vers l'an 100 avant J-C, après que les Parthes eurent achevé leur conquête de l'Iran. Les itinéraires se sont ensuite diversifiés, au gré des conflits entre Romains et Parthes, des stratégies commerciales de contournement de l'Empire parthe et des changements climatiques produits en Asie centrale.

In his new monograph Early Arsakid Parthia (ca. 250-165 B.C.): At the Crossroads of Iranian, Hellenistic, and Central Asian History , Marek Jan Olbrycht explores the early history of the Arsakid Parthian state. Making use of literary and epigraphic evidence as well numismatic and archaeological sources, Olbrycht convincingly depicts how the Arsakid dynasty created a kingdom (248 B.C.-A.D. 226), small at first, which, within a century after its founding, came to dominate the Iranian Plateau and portions of Central Asia as well as Mesopotamia. The "Parthian genius" lay in the Arsakids' ability to have blended their steppe legacy with that of sedentary Iranians, and to have absorbed post-Achaemenid Iranian and Seleukid socio-economic, political, and cultural traditions.

"Sasanian Persia, which succeeded the Parthians, was one of the great powers of late antiquity and the most significant power in the Near East together with the Roman Empire. This book undertakes a thorough investigation of the diverse range of written, numismatic and archaeological sources in order to reassess Sasanian political ideology and its sources and influences in the ideologies of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, Babylonian scholarship and prophesy, and Hellenistic Greek thought. It sheds fresh light on the political complexities of early Arsacid and Sasanian history, especially the situation in Babylon and Elymais, and on the Roman propaganda which penetrated, shaped and determined Roman attitudes towards Sasanian Persia"-- "The present study proposes to examine the political ideology of the early Sasanian empire. In doing so, it shall not only look at Sasanian and Roman relations, but also at Arsacid precedents, for possible stimuli in the formation of the Sasanian ideology. Already Roman historians of the third and fourth centuries CE perceived the imperialism of the Sasanians as infused with the desire to equal, even to surpass, the glory of the kings of old by recovering formerly Achaemenid territories-by then part of the Roman East. In contrast, contemporaneous Sasanian royal inscriptions, in particular the res gestae of Sabuhr the Great and the inscription of king Narseh at Paikuli, neither provide us with a rationale for the war of conquest waged against Rome, nor do they contain any explicit references to the historical predecessors of the Sasanians. This conflicting finding raises questions about historiographical practices in Sasanian Iran and Rome. Indeed, one wonders how Sasanians recorded their past, or the extent to which they were acquainted with it; equally important an inquiry is the nature of Roman knowledge of Sasanian history, as well as the sources whence it had been extracted. Only the elucidation of these problems would allow us to address our initial query, that is, whether the early Sasanians experienced an "Achaemenid revival" that might have shaped their political ideology and prompted their expansionist campaigns against the Roman empire; or whether the revival ascribed to the Sasanians by Roman literati was in reality a Roman interpretation comprehensible only in light of Roman political exigencies"--
