"Crassus, Rich Man, Poor Man" (2004)
In: Settle, Matthew, Decisive Battles (TV series from History Channel)
History Channel, 2004
Abstract: The richest man in Rome lost more than his fortune in a vain and futile attempt to raise his status in the Empire. Although he may have been the richest man in Rome, Crassus was the poor relation in the First Triumvirate. He needed military laurels to raise him onto the level of Pompey and Caesar, and he chose to try and get them in Parthia. His vanity cost the lives of seven legions, his son, and his own head. The Roman force was wiped out in the desert and the prestige lost that day would not be restored until the time of Augustus. [Publisher]

The animation of battle scenes were produced using the game engine from Rome: Total War (2004).

From Samarkhand to Sardis. A new approach to the Seleucid empire (1993)
In: Hellenistic Culture and Society XIII
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1993, ix+261 p.
Abstract: See book review by Waldemar Heckel -- University of Calgary in The Bryn Mawr Classical Review.

The empire created by Alexander the Great's general, Seleucus, constituted the largest Hellenistic kingdom of the successor states: yet this is the first substantial treatment of Seleucid history to appear for fifty years. The authors approach this important and successful state from new perspectives, seeing it as part of the Middle Eastern world rather than solely in Greco-Roman terms, and arguing that the Seleucid state is best understood as heir to the great Achaemenid Persian empire and earlier Middle Eastern states.

They investigate the economies, social structures, political systems, and cultures of the many peoples making up the empire, and analyze, in the context of colonialism and imperialism, such evidence as exists for cultural changes, including Hellenization.

The book makes accessible the great variety of new and important documents that have been recently discovered. It will be welcomed by students, teachers, and all readers with an interest in Hellenistic and Middle Eastern history.
