Join us on a journey through history as we explore the forgotten story of the Lost Legions of Crassus. In 53 BC, Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus led an army of 30,000 soldiers into the Parthian Empire in pursuit of wealth and glory. However, what followed was one of the greatest disasters in Roman history. During the battle of Carrhae, the army was decimated and Crassus himself was killed in battle. But what happened to the surviving soldiers?
In this video, we delve deeper into the fate of the prisoners of war taken by the Parthians. What was their life like as captives in a foreign land? Were they eventually ransomed back to Rome or did they spend the rest of their lives in Parthia?
We will also uncover the various theories surrounding the disappearance of the Lost Legions, including the possibility of the assimilation of the soldiers into Parthian society, or one that is far far stranger, we delve into the theory that the soldiers ended up in ancient china, in Liqian, and settled there creating a part of ancient romes in China.
