Years: 166 - 166
Cassius is made suffect consul, a position he holds outside of Rome, in May of 166.
During this year, he and Verus launch a new campaign against the Parthians, this time across the northern Tigris river, and into Media, and rumors (ultimately false) reach Rome that Cassius had crossed the Indus River along with the Third Syrian legion.
By the end of 166, Cassius has been made imperial legate of the Roman province of Syria.
