Years: 92BCE - 92BCE
…Mithridates II of Parthia, whose forces are advancing into north Syria against the declining Seleucids, concludes the first treaty between Parthia and Rome.
In the negotiations, which take place on the Euphrates between the Roman general Sulla and the Parthian ambassador Orobaze, Mithridates wisely refuses to agree to follow in the Roman path and prefers to retain his neutrality in the struggle between Rome and Mithridates VI of Pontus.
The two parties recognize the Euphrates as a common frontier.
