Hatra
A large fortified city under the influence of the Parthian Empire and capital of the first Arab Kingdom, Hatra withstood invasions by the Romans in A.D. 116 and 198 thanks to its high, thick walls reinforced by towers. The remains of the city, especially the temples where Hellenistic and Roman architecture blend with Eastern decorative features, attest to the greatness of its civilization.
哈特拉
哈特拉是受帕提亚帝国影响的要塞重镇和第一个阿拉伯王国的首府，在公元116年和198年抵挡住了罗马人的多次侵犯，这主要得益于它高大厚实的城墙和城堡。这座城市的遗址，特别是它融汇了希腊罗马建筑风格及东方装饰特色的寺庙建筑，展示了帕提亚文明的辉煌。
