Do you have a date on this map? The article on the Parthian Empire is saying it lasted 247 BC-224 AD, so a pretty huge interval. I know that in 40 BC, Parthia took two armies into the Levant, one inland and one down the coast, conquering all of Syria and Israel, so in the west that would exceed the boundaries of this map. I don't know what was going on in the east at that time. Likewise, around 65 BC and again around 53 BC, Parthia was pressing into Syria. A date would be useful, as others might want to create a series of maps that cover other periods.
