Wait, there have been lads called “Parthicus”? I thought the Parthians kicked Romans’ asses every time, so someone actually conducted a successful campaign against them?
Several successful campaigns, it’s just that there was never really a lasting success against them. Persia is fucking BIG and hard to hold, so usually what happened is the Romans would win a few battles (assuming the campaign was successful), penetrate a bit, and then negotiate a peace settlement and celebrate.
