Note:
"This book is based on the revised and expanded second edition of Die Parther – die vergessene Großmacht (The Parthians – the forgotten superpower), by archaeologist Sylvia Winkelmann and myself, published by Zabern Verlag, Germany in 2015. For the present edition, the book was revised and in parts re-edited and translated into English by the author. More than 90 new photos have been added, some of which I took on my trip to Turkmenistan, the ‘homeland of the Parthians’, in 2015, where I had the opportunity to visit and photograph archaeological finds and Parthian sites. The excavations in Old Nisa, a royal sanctuary, formerly thought to be one of the capitals of the Parthians, but also the remains of the huge Parthian city walls in Merv, impressed me greatly." - Foreword
