历史细节
PARTHIA - KINGDOM OF PARTHIA - PHRAATACES or PHRAATES V
(2 BC - 4 AD)
In 24 BC, Augustus had returned the son of Phraates IV, captured by General Tiridates. At the same time, the emperor had offered him an Italian slave, Musa. Four years later, the King of Kings returned the ensigns and surviving prisoners from the Carrhae Disaster of 53 BC and that of Marc Antony of Phraapa. This event had an important impact in the Roman world. Musa eventually got married to Phraates IV and bore him a son Phraataces. Musa then urged the king to send his other sons and their families to Rome, including the future Vonones I. Musa and his son assassinated the old king. Phraataces became Phraates V then married his mother. He was overthrown by a palace revolution. History then loses track of Musa and his son, who were murdered or who managed to flee to Syria..
