Overview
The Roman-Persian wars were a series of conflicts between the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire that lasted from 66 BC to 629 AD. These wars were fought in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. The outcome of the wars was the Roman Empire's victory.
Background
The Roman-Persian wars began in 66 BC when the Roman Republic and the Parthian Empire (the predecessor of the Persian Empire) clashed over the control of Armenia. The war that followed lasted for almost a century until the Roman Empire's victory in 63 BC. The Roman-Persian wars continued until 629 AD, when the Persian Empire was defeated by the Byzantine Empire.
The Roman Empire's Strategy
The Roman Empire had a well-defined strategy for the Roman-Persian wars. They employed a combination of diplomacy, military force, and economic pressure to gain the upper hand. The Romans also used their superior naval forces to blockade the Persian Empire's ports, preventing them from receiving supplies.
The Persian Empire's Strategy
The Persian Empire's strategy for the Roman-Persian wars was to use guerrilla tactics and hit-and-run attacks to wear down the Roman forces. The Persians also employed diplomacy to try and negotiate a peace treaty with the Romans.
Outcome
The Roman Empire emerged victorious from the Roman-Persian wars. The victory was largely due to the Roman Empire's superior strategy and tactics. The Roman Empire's victory marked the end of the Persian Empire's dominance in the region and the beginning of the Roman Empire's dominance.
