 The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World: Parthia and Sassania - George RawlinsonGorgias Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
My interest was in Parthia, the power that rivalled Rome in the period 65 BC to about AD 250, and I feel Rawlinson delivered the goods in his 240 pages of coverage (the section on Sassania is slightly longer), showing his wide knowledge of both classical sources and the archaeological information available to him.
In 23 chapters he systematically describes the physical geography of the Parthian heartland (east of the Caspian Sea), the ethnicity of its people, the history of its monarchs, their style of warfare, and what is known of their customs, religion, art, and architecture.
Considering how little material there is available about Parthia (or Sassania), this book is a treasure-trove, and we're lucky to have it.

Sassania helped by destroying 1 city in Asia (I had a - slightly risky - plan in place in case they failed to help).
jon, I know what you mean about Sassania, but they also start with several cities in a reasonable state of development and a direct border with Byzantium.
I think the only good units that Sassania can get are in the "Rome Strikes Back" era, and since the Sassania need to reserach several techs to do so (they are well ahead of barbs but way behind Rome)...
