The Suren were a noble family of Parthain blood. Colin McEvedy's "Peguin Atlas of History" has the Suren kingdom marked off as some sort of semi-independent of principality.
The full name of the Iranian general who opposed Crassus is given as..........Eran Spahbodh Rustaham Suren-Pahlav, son of Arakhsh and Massis..........But Hell, you guys can just call me "The Suren"! Big Grin

www.iranchamber.com/history/surena/surena.php

The article goes on to give the leadership of Crassus a bad rap.

Quote:By this time the Crassus himself was prostrated with despair. But Octavius and Cassius, his lieutenants, cowardly resolved that their only hope was to escape under cover of darkness, and seek shelter behind the walls of the city of Carrhae.
