Overview of Parthian Geography The core land areas of ancient Parthia lay between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, and its boundaries included all of modern Iran and contained portions of what are now modern Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azarbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan. These borders moved fluidly during the reign of the Arsacids, and areas to the west as far as Gaza and Palestine at one time fell under Parthian rule. There are four basic land regions in Iran: The area covered by ancient Parthia, which roughly corresponds to modern Iran, was approximately 648,000 square miles, about equal to the areas of Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain together, or about the size of the portion of the United States of America which lies east of Mississippi River excluding New England.

H. Dyson and contributions by C.K. Wilkinson As important as the roads which brought foreign influence into the country were the mountainous areas provided a refuge for peoples fleeing from invasions for a brief or permanent stay in the security of their mountain strongholds. The point has recently been made that 'the plains were the melting-pots [p. 17] of various peoples while the mountains provided isolated areas where various religious beliefs [or heresies], old traditions and customs could be maintained in comparative isolation from the great areas of history'. The surprising survival of motifs and techniques in Iranian art over many centuries, and even millennia, may be explained by the traditions maintained in these refuge areas. An example of such an areas is seen in the mountain valleys of western Pakistan in a region formerly called Kafiristan or 'Land of the Infidels'. Horses of an ancestor statue in a graveyard in the Rumbur valley wear ornaments which are very similar to those seen on Assyrian reliefs and which also resemble finds of such ornaments made in Iran in Luristan and at Ziwiye in Kurdistan.

You are in Geography of Iran Situated in an area between West and Central Asia, Iran shares its borders with Turkmenistan in the northeast, Azerbaijan and Armenia in the northwest, Afghanistan and Pakistan in the east, and Iraq in the west. As well, it borders on the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman in the south. Historically, ethnically, linguistically and in matters of culture and religion, Iran has ties to Central, South, and West Asian nations. It is truly a border state with ties to areas throughout the Asian continent. The interior of Iran is characterized by mountains and deserts. For the most part, Iran is arid and semi-arid except in the north near the Caspian Sea where a more temperate climate prevails. Such a terrain exposes the country to natural hazards in the form of droughts, sandstorms and dust storms. Thus agriculture relies heavily on irrigation and ancient Iranians built karez underground irrigation systems which can also be found through Central Asia. In addition, Iran lies on a tectonic plate fault line and earthquakes are frequent. Iran experiences extreme weather in both the north and south. In the winter, the north is subject to sub-polar weather as cold winds blow in from Siberia. On the other hand, summer in the south can see temperatures ranging upwards of 100 degrees F. Rainfall is unevenly distributed with the north receiving more than the arid and desert-like south.
