A site that includes a description of the Romans (includes the full text):

I was a bit surprised the Parthians didn't consider the Roman territories that Rome controlled of the old Persian Empire as "Eran", but rather "Aneran", non Iranian, even when they ruled them. The last link does show they expanded their fire temples into even Antioch, but this wasn't enough to change it's status.

 

I just assumed they held that earlier absurd belief of the Persians that any and all lands once belonging to them was rightfully still Persian Lands. That's the propaganda at least. I'm starting to wonder how sincerely they felt about that now.
