Roman relations with Parthia


Recommended Posts

The Wikipedia page, Roman relations with Parthia, is currently riddled with errors, at least in the section "Relations during the Republic". Can anyone with expertise on the history of the Principate see whether that section is as bad?

 

It's not necessarily wrong per se, but its written in a horridly subjective manner and without much detail.

Not being an expert, the main problem that I can found in the aforementioned section is the description of a key character, the parthian prince Pacorus (wrongly described as a roman general); of his 3 or 4 expeditions against Rome, the article only describes the last one against Mark Anthony's soldiers (wrongly described as republicans). Certainly, this can be confusing.

www.parthia.com has a nice account of this events.
