Antony's Parthian War

Years: 40BCE - 33BCE

Antony's Parthian War or the Roman-Parthian War of 40-33 BCE is a major conflict, which follows the Battle of Carrhae, between the Roman Republic, represented in the East by the triumvir Mark Antony, and the Parthians.

Although the campaign ends in disastrous defeat for Antony, the war is a strategic draw when peace is made by Augustus.

"He who does not know how to give himself an account of three thousand years may remain in the dark, inexperienced, and live from day to day."

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, West-Eastern Divan
