Parthia is age 27 on the Idle Ages ladder, set in 247 BCE. You unlock it with coins the ages below it earned. From there it produces on its own cycle, with its own upgrade costs and its own four heroes.

| Automation | Needs Musa of Parthia at level 5, after which the age produces with the app closed for up to 8 hours |
| Heroes | Arsaces I, Surena, Mithridates I, Musa of Parthia |
Arsaces I raises every age you own at once. The other three raise this one. All four carry a piece of written history that unlocks as you level them.
Legendary
Arsaces I led the Parni, a nomadic people, to seize the province of Parthia from the Seleukids around 247 BCE. He founded the Arsacid dynasty that would rule Persia for nearly five centuries and rival Rome itself.
Raises output in every age you own, and most of all in their own. Every level doubles what they add.

Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Epic
Mithridates I turned Parthia from a frontier kingdom into a great empire, conquering Media and Babylonia and taking the ancient title King of Kings. Under him Parthia became Rome great rival in the east.
Raises the output and production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add.
Rare Manager, level 5
Musa was an Italian slave girl gifted to the Parthian king, who freed and married her. She rose to become queen, then had her husband poisoned to put her own son on the throne and ruled beside him.
Raises the production speed of their own age. Every level doubles what they add. Levelling Musa of Parthia to 5 is what automates Parthia.
