Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
Rulers
The line of king.

| Arsaces I of Parthia | 247 BCE – 211 BCE | 36 years | the term ends after the recorded deathread off the dates alone |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 247 BCE – 211 BCE. Only 36 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
