I’ve decided to create a network for those interested in the study of #Roman relations with their eastern neighbours the #Parthians and #Sasanians, and vice versa. A few big plans coming up and the first CfP will be announced by the end of the week. Please feel free to follow!

Whilst fine tuning my second thesis chapter, this got delivered at my door from @penswordbooks!
A precursory flick through and a few more references can be added to my fourth chapter on battle narrative.
