The Internal Policy of the Early Arsacids
The article dwells upon the relations between the early Arsacids and the Greek and Iranian population of Parthyene and Hyrcania. It is noted that during the rule of Arsaces I and his immediate successors their power in this region was a kind of military occupation. It is concluded that it was only during Phraates I and Mithridates I reign that the conflict with the local population was settled, and the conditions for rapid growth of the power of the Parthian state were provided.
