Rhaga
Background
Rhaga was a settlement used as a capital by the Arsacids. In Classical Roman geography it was called Rhagae. It is mentioned several times in the Apocrypha.[4] Its name dates back to the pre-Median period. Some historians attribute its building to ancient mythological monarchs, and some others believe that Ray was the seat of a dynasty of Zoroastrian leader.
