Parthians conquer Mesopotamia.
The Silk Road to China is now controlled
by the Parthians.
This is important because this event would
have been a massive impact on trading for
the Seleucid Kingdom. One of the power they
had is now taken by the Parthians, which will
make the kingdom weaker. Because they were
in the Mesopotamia connecting Mediterranean
to Asia, they were in power of trading.
However, as the Parthians now has the control
of the Silk Road, they would have no power.
