	Encyclopedia: Battle of Carrhae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Battle of Carrhae was a decisive battle fought in the year 53 BC near the town of Carrhae (now the present-day ruins of Harran, Turkey) between the Roman Republic under the Roman general Crassus and the Parthian Empire under the Parthian Eran Spahbod Surena.
		Spahbod (Persian:Ø³Ù¾Ù‡Ø¨Ø¯; is consisted of two words: Spah Ø³Ù¾Ù‡ (army) bod Ø¨Ø¯ (master)) was a rank used in the Parthian empire and more widely in Sassanid dynasty of Persia (Iran).
		One result of the disaster for the Romans was the endurance of a myth that legionary armies could not successfully fight Parthian cavalry - a myth that even the sacking of the Parthian capital three times in the 2nd century could not end.
