A History of Armenia and the Roman Empire

In 54 a d, the parthians found themselves effectively ruling armenia. When claudius died and nero became emperor, he was convinced to push back hard against them. The basic demand of the romans was simple tyridates had to travel to rome and receive an official endorsement from the emperor. In 58 a d corbua was given the green light to begin pressing the roman case. By other means, tyridates scattered his defence forces across armenia to avoid decisiveness that comes with a single large battle.
