Hello, because your channel is a historical channel and you may look at the ancient times of Iran
I suggest you to buy the book History of Ancient Iran by Sayan Publications
Iranologists work methods
And it will be released soon and available for purchase in Europe
As a Sassanid horse archer myself I'm glad to see this
😂😂😂
You must be considerably old!
They were muslims...
@@winnersmindset7195 are you stupid ?we were zorastrians and are to this day (hiddenly)
@@winnersmindset7195 nope. Sassanids were Persian and Zoroastrian.
The legendary *Asavaran* 🙌 😎 👏
Savaran
@@ShahanshahShahin Yeah I know but apparently in speeches they were also called "Asavaran" which is mentioned in a few records that I've seen before....
Im iranian.
In ancient times all the commanders and nobles were on horse, main army was on horse. The only foot soldiers were the peasants that were conscripted to army.
In actuality, its asb-savaran meaning "horse riders" or savaran meaning "riders". Both are actually common saying even now for those who ride horses of such.
@@ryansmith8345Ashwa is horse in Sanskrit. Since Avestan and Sanskrit are related it maybe right
Interesting solution of the Sasanians to defeat the Romans.
During the Parthian period, in the wars between Iran and Rome, most of the horse archers were in the first line and the heavy cavalry in the second line.
■
The attack was like this:
First, the archers attacked the enemy, and the enemy inflicted heavy losses, the archers gave their place to the horsemen, and the horsemen hit the heart of the enemy's army and destroyed the enemy.
This method was used until the Sassanid era.
But the Romans, learning the time of the Sasanian attack, opened their ranks when the archers attacked, so that the arrows of the archers would miss more and cause less casualties, at the same time, when the cavalry attacked, they compressed their ranks to reduce casualties. give and give more resistance
Shapur Sasani implemented an interesting and intelligent idea to deal with this method
To counter this method, Shapur Sasani arranged his forces in three lines
- First line: Shaheswaran
- Second line: shooters
- The third line: Shaheswaran
In this way, the Persians, who knew that the Romans would press their ranks when the cavalry attacked
With the attack of Alki, the cavalry in the first line made the Romans compress their ranks
The cavalry did not engage with the enemy with the utmost agility and gave their place to the archers, the Romans who were tight also suffered heavy losses and their makeup was destroyed.
At the same time, the Roman soldiers had suffered casualties and their military makeup was messed up
The archers gave their place to the horsemen and the horsemen destroyed the enemy's work with the final attack.
With this method, Shapur was able to defeat 3 Roman kings and reach the conquest of Syria and parts of Cappadocia, however, the Romans learned how to deal with this method a few years later, and instead, the Sasanians used new methods to defeat the Romans. They put to work...
As someone laying in bed eating pizza off of their stomach; pretty deadly.
Really feel bad for the Roman Emperor who reigned and had to fight against the sassanid at that time. For those who don't know, that man was Alexander Severus, the Emperor Claudius of the third century after Christ. Keep in mind he had a pretty cruel life: first, he had to survive the reign of his degenerate cousin Elagabalus by playing as an inmature and dumb kid incapable of being a threat. Then, the Praetorian Guards made him Emperor at just the age of 14. He was later forced to leave Rome several times in order to fight against the Sassanid and other threats, being unable to recover the economy of the Empire. All of this suffering only resulted with him being murdered along his mother at a pretty young age, bringing with his death the official beginning of the Fall of the Roman Empire
Oh, how horrible, what a tragic life being born in abundance. I'm sure the people who Rome subjugated lived much worse. I love history, but I care not for the majority if these depraved "leaders".
He Is my favourite emperor,and underrated.. however,there are some Books that could explain this campaign
His campaign of 233 was at Last a stallmate.. archeological evidence show that Alexander severus wanted ti Attack again to finish the job
I read an article somewhere that said viking peoples would travel down the Volga to the Caspian sea where they traded metalwork with the Sassanids
The Vikings went down to the Caspian sea but long after the Sassanid era. The Muslims were ruling when the Vikings traded in Baghdad (and occasionally raided the Caspian Sea's coast).

Would be interesting to see a comparison of Sassanid/Parthian vs Mongolian vs english yeomen archers.
Can't put English longbowmen there. That's a unit with totally different tactics and function.
Can't put English longbowmen there. That's a unit with totally different tactics and function.
I would love that! The Parthian’s were so deadly they got a term named after them ‘Parthian shot’ - hostile remark made in leaving. These horse archers would feign a charge and when retreating they would turn in the saddle to release with great accuracy. Whereas the mongols steppe archers trained to shoot when their horses were at full gallop, they would time the release of the arrow to when their horse had all 4 hoofs of the ground and had superb accuracy. Don’t know enough in regards to sassanid horse archers. If I was a general at this time think I’d like to go to war with the mongol horse archers… they did help conquer lands 5 times the size of the Roman Empire battle hardened and extremely confident in war
English longbow were the key to our military successes against the French armies of the day. The only weapon that could make a peasant more fearsome than the richest knights. You would have to learn to handle this bow from a youth slowly building up the muscles with smaller bows before progressing. You couldn’t just pick up this bow like the French crossbow but once learnt you could outrange opponents and fire a minimum of 12 shots/minute as opposed to 4/5 with crossbow. As important to the British army as it’s future ships would be in my opinion. Mongolian composite bows were lighter and didn’t penetrate as well. Longbow was death at 200 yards but in right hands could shoot twice that range. Mongols had slightly greater range at around 550 yards but they could be very accurate at 200 yards. Being on horseback would make them a more versatile unit but more expensive to upkeep and train
If you're asking who would win, I'd contend that the victory would almost always go to the mounted archers against the longbowmen. Firstly who is attacking who? The English longbowmen were always best when they had time to prepare their position. Their bodkin arrows could easily bite through chainmail, but not so easily through shields.
Let's make a low estimate and say that the average speed of a professional mounted archer in mail is about 18m/s. The range of an English longbowman (at least where many can agree upon) is 315m.
315m/(18m/s)= 17.5s
A longbowman could fire a volley, at the absolute fastest, every 7 seconds. So the maths gets you 2 1/2 volleys before Parthians or Sassanids are at point blank range. But they are also very mobile, hard to hit, ranged units. So the advantage would be with the bowmen for the first couple of volleys if they were well-prepared in their position and we're waiting for them. But they would then have to contend with being surrounded by horsemen who are equipped with close and longe range weapons.
My bet is on the horse archers
Sassanid Persians were my favorite Persian dynasty 💪
🤣. They weren't Christian abd they also killed many Christian
please make a full video of Aswaran. There's very little sources available on the Sassanians.

👌 From early ages, Persians were encouraged to learn to shoot, learn to ride, and always tell the truth.
Amazing! Looking forward to more Sassanid videos! 🔥
You mean the Romans hadn't learned anything since losing to Parthian horse archers hundreds of years before this?
they did learn from them (the bysantine army was focused on archer and heavy cavalery) but the Saassanid did too
They did but the Sassanids used a bit different tactics and kept changing their tactics whenever they felt it was needed
You can take a look at Karzar Nameh video about the Sassanid army during the reign of Shapur II for example
@@ramtin5152 Kazer Nameh provides English subtitles?
And then the Eastern Romans lost to Turkic horse archers

Often forgotten today these were overshadowed by the later mongols and Turks

IAM dead 🤣
But as Sassanid horse archer I would say you fought well 👌🏽
This knowledge never trickled back to the medieval West apparently.
For climactic and geographical reasons. Asian horse archers use composite bows, in which different materials are glued together. Before petrochemicals, this required animal glue, which softens in wet or humid conditions. Western Europe, as it happens, is both very wet and rather humid (by global standards), so composite bows could literally fall apart. In addition, Europe has a lot of mountain ranges and rivers in proportion to its size, which limits how armies (especially cavalry) can move. The great strength of the horse archer was the ability to outrun any heavy troops which pursued them-which you can’t do when backed up against a river.
Roman and Spartan barbarians would always attack Persia and flea back not only during the Sassanid empire but also during the Akhamanian Empire of Persia. But in western movies they always want to make it look like as it was the other way around.
Sassanians attacked Rome more often then the other way around
Pov: 0 history knowledge!
The achemanides literally attack whole Greece just because Athens support the ionian revolt!
But they still owned by greeks in Greek-parsian war!
How important was Roman transportation for the Roman military, ie wagon carts to transport legions, troops, and provisions?
It varied for different periods during the 1000 year history of the Roman state, but usually the legionaries walked everywhere carrying their own weapons, armor and food, totaling about 80 lbs. Carts and mules carried tents and siege equipment mostly.
Awesome
Can you make later about Arabian cavalry ?
Very interesting to use this shorts format to cover a specific any unit!
They didn't explain who were the sassanid horse archers!
mostly Parthians

Sassanids were the ones who built the road for the Islamic golden age. We need to see much more videos of them!
Haha good one the Arabs and sassanids where enemies and to this day the persians are slaves to a foreign ideology.
@@ninjaa6952 without Perisans and Romans, arabs would have been living in a tent :/
they really did, the first grammar book of the Arabic language was written by a persian, most of the great scientists and poets of the Golden age of the Islamic world were Persians and the most of the architecture style of Islamic buildings were copied from sassanid buildings, Arabs back then didn't even had proper weapons and clothing
@@willofthemakers8625 What are you even talking about? Arabs did have architecture before the Persian Muslims notably Andalusian Islamic architecture. Also in al andalus it was full of Arab and moor scholars. The Abbasid copied everything to Persian, Roman and Andalusian architecture to create a new type of architecture. It wasn’t Persians who did that it was the Abbasids.
@@1sultan189 Arabs were living in tents what architecture are u talking about
Who founded abbasids?Persians
Where are Abbasid's courtiers from?Persians
Then again we should it was Persians not Abbasids
This is good quality stuff and I'm no animator but I'm sorry the approaching kangaroo-horsies about halfway through got me giggling 😂
Roman armies marched. In close terrain this was an advantage with their tactics and doctrine. But in desert and open terrain mobility was more useful. All that gear and armour slowed them further.
Rome hired local units to fight for them. This works in the short term, but not developing hardy Roman cavalry formations is one of the reasons Rome could not prevail for long.
Damn those barberian hordes🎉
Since ancient time people didn’t learn anything. Only tools has changed but mentality is still the same.
It wasn't a "hord". It was a very well organized national army. Please Be polite and impartial.
an interesting fact is that these units outlived the sassanid empire. During the war against Muslims, some units defected to the Muslims and fought against the sassanids. As a reward, a commander of one of the units was made governor of Basra, a city in Iraq.
Anyone else notice the amount of innuendo in this vid? At the climax of the campaign, the Sassanids terrified their opponents with their coming
They start first and we should protect our motherland and we take them eagle flags 😁❤️ war is bad ❤️🇮🇹☮️

Caliphate Al Rashidun army of Islam was the greatest who defeated both the Romans and Sassanids at the same time ! Allahu Akbar ☝️
and let's not forget that both empires fought each other for 700 years and have recently dealt with huns, they were so devastated that sassanids had changed 5 kings in 2 years and byzantine Empire was so bankrupt that they had to dismiss their own armies, so the genius General of shirtless Arabs with sticks just needed 10000 men that wouldn't run away from the remaining forces and of course trick their generals to make in fighting, other wise no amount of devine massacre...imean devine will could have help the Arabs defeat either one of them
@@willofthemakers8625 They fought for 700 years and didn’t collapse which means they were accustomed to warfare. The Byzantines had the strongest economy in the world even if plague and wars slightly affected it they still were the richest. The Persians and Romans built their own armor and controlled the most important trade routes. Also the 28 war was not the most intense in their history and the Arab Muslims also had a 30 year civil war against the pagan Arabs which if we follow your logic they should have also been weakened. Matter f fact even more weakened because they weren’t an professional army. The Byzantines and sassanids outnumbered and had better armor than the Arabs. The Sassanids even used elephants. So yeah there is no excuse you can think of. Plague? The worst time of the plague was during 541-542 which is 80 years before the Muslim conquest. Meaning they had time to recover (they did the population of Constantinople recovered).
@@1sultan189 Why are u saying wrong things arabs were united but persians still had civil war 12 kings in 4years do you understand?
Weak economy exhausted and lack of unity because of 26 years war with rome
We know if there was normal condition for persia they would have won and crushed arabs just how they did in reign of Shapur II the great
@@ASh-oe9hm Persia had 26 year war but they were a superpower which means they had the opportunity to recover. The Arabs had 30 year of conquest and they had to submit the whole region 2 times while being outnumbered and outequipped. And afterwards they didn’t take a break and began their conquest of Rome and Persia (who by this time had few years to recover).
@@ASh-oe9hm Persia did have 12 kings and civil war but it wasn’t like the Arab extent. They were politically weak but then everything was fixed before the arab invasion and their military was run by generals not the king and it was always strong. So the Persians had military and experience advantage over the Arabs while the Arabs had unity and determination over the Persians.

Most of the reason for the defeat of the Sassanids was the chaos of the empire
@Vsko Then the Mongolians came and wrecked the Arabs 😂😂 every empire rises and falls, that applies to your ancestors too
Sasanian civil war of 589-591, Sassanid Byzantine war of 602-628, and another way longer Sassanian civil war right after that are only 3 out of many reasons for their defeats
Even after Iran was conquered by arabs, Iranians didn't give up
Iranians like Farrukhan the great (who is said to have killed a 20,000 Arab army and left no one alive to even bring the news of defeat), Babak Khorramdin, Mazyar and few with smaller revolts
Babak's revolt only failed because one of his men betrayed him
He and his wife, Banu, fought arabs between 20-23 years
Arabs never had a peaceful reign in Iran while they had control over it for barely 200 years and they were kicked out by the Saffarids at the end
But the Sassanids ruled over a large part of arabia for 302 years without a revolt (until the reign of Khosrow II)
The Iranians kept establishing other kingdoms and empires after the fall of the Sassanids
Though Iran was conquered, at least the Iranians always fought back, always
And we people of Iran are still fighting in every way we can
@@easthurricane ** Mongolians came when the Abbasid were literally 1/10 of their previous size.
