Behind the imperial frontier guards came the Chinese farmer with horse and plough, ploughing up the grass lands and enclosing the winter pasture. The Hunnish peoples raided and murdered the settlers, but the Chinese punitive expeditions were too much for them. The nomads were faced with the choice of settling down to the plough and becoming Chinese tax- payers or shifting in search of fresh summer pastures. Some took the former course and were ab- sorbed. Some drifted north- eastward and eastwa...rd over the mountain passes down into western Turkestan.

It was producing a westward pressure upon the Aryan tribes, and these again were pressing upon the Roman frontiers ready to break through directly there was any Parthians, who were apparently a Mongolian admixture, came down to century b. C. They fought against eastern raid. They defeated and killed Crassus. They replaced the Seleucid monarchy in Persia by a dynasty of Parthian kings, the Arsacid dvnastv.
