I want to thank The Medjay of Faiyum to do a collab with me link to his channel:    / @medjayoffaiyum   Sry for not uploading in a while i had school and almost no free time but now i really want to get back to making video's. Please NOTE: This is not a historically accurate representation of the battle. I have added some historical liberties, and I have made it in a way I think that there's at least a small narrative to follow around. Let me know if I make any mistakes. I'll point them out in the pinned comment to watch out for my next time. More info about the battle of Carrhae: The Battle of Carrhae (Latin pronunciation: [ˈkarrae̯]) was fought in 53 BC between the Roman Republic and the Parthian Empire near the ancient town of Carrhae (present-day Harran, Turkey). An invading force of seven legions of Roman heavy infantry under Marcus Licinius Crassus was lured into the desert and decisively defeated by a mixed cavalry army of heavy cataphracts and light horse archers led by the Parthian general Surena. On such flat terrain, the Legion proved to have no viable tactics against the highly-mobile Parthian horsemen, and the slow and vulnerable Roman formations were surrounded, exhausted by constant attacks, and eventually crushed. Crassus was killed along with the majority of his army. It is commonly seen as one of the earliest and most important battles between the Roman and Parthian Empires and one of the most crushing defeats in Roman history. According to the poet Ovid in Book 6 of his poem Fasti, the battle occurred on the 9th day of June.
