Abstract

This book examines the Parthian and Roman conflict over control of Armenia from 41 to 63 AD. The author presents a detailed chronological analysis of events, meticulously reconstructing the motivations and actions of the major players involved in this historical drama. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from Tacitus' Annals to Parthian numismatic evidence, the book sheds new light on critical historical debates, challenging long-held assumptions and presenting a fresh perspective on the power dynamics and intricacies of this period. The author argues that Tacitus' historical writings, despite their value as a primary source, contain errors in the chronology of events, and he meticulously corrects these errors, creating a more accurate and reliable timeline
