Years: 53BCE - 53BCE
Orodes himself invades Armenia and forces King Artavasdes, the son of Tigranes the Great, to abandon the Romans.
By the victory of Carrhae the countries east of the Euphrates are secured to the Parthians.
Plutarch relates that Orodes understood Greek very well.
After the death of Crassus, the Bacchae of Euripides is presented at Artavasdes' court, with the head of Crassus himself allegedly being used as an accessory for a scene actually including a severed head, on the order of the king.
