Antony's Invasion of the East

Antony decided it was high time he put his stamp on the east. Basing himself out of antioch, antony swept through syria and brought the territory back under roman control. In 36 b c, almost 20 years after crassus had taken his shot at parthia, Antony finally ordered a hundred thousand troops to march east rome. The invasion was a complete debaccle as local guides simply fed information to the parthians about the location of the slow moving and underguarded roman baggage train.
