 |  |  | 191 BC: Encyclopedia - Cato the ElderMarcus Porcius Cato (Latin: M·PORCIVS·M·F·CATO) (234 BC - 149 BC), Roman statesman, surnamed "The Censor," Sapiens, Priscus, or Major (the Elder), to distinguish him from Cato the Younger (his great-grandson), was born at Tusculum.

 |  |  | 191 BC: Encyclopedia II - Parthia - OriginsThe Parthians were members of the Parni tribe, a nomadic people of Iranian origin, who spoke an Iranian language and entered the Iranian plateau from Central Asia.

Later, at the height of their power, Parthian influence reached as far as Ubar in Arabia, the nexus of the frankincense trade route, where Parthian-inspired ceramics have been found.

 |  |  | 191 BC: Encyclopedia II - Seleucid Empire - The partition of Alexander's empire 323-281 BCAlexander the Great had conquered the Persian Empire within a short time-frame and died young, leaving an expansive empire of partly Hellenized culture without an adult heir.
