Parthia: Rome's Eastern Nemesis - The Pax Romana Podcast 035

from The Pax Romana Podcast · host Professor Colin Elliott

The Roman emperor Trajan looked to emulate Alexander the Great. In AD 113, he began a campaign to push Roman borders eastward further than ever before. In his way was the Parthian Empire. These two powers were engaged in a complex geo-political chess match for virtually the entirety of the Pax Romana. Would Trajan be able to do what no previous Roman had done, and take Rome's eastern Nemesis?
