Descent from Antiquity
by Rebecca on Fri Aug 10, 2012 04:33 PM PDTIt is interesting that Arsaces I's DFA (Descent from Antiquity) is well established. Some European royal families such as the Italian kings of House of Savoy or James III of Scotland are descendants of the Parthian kings through their relationship with Parthian kings of Armenia and Georgia.
