Rome, Parthia and India - John D. Grainger
Between 152 and 138 BC a series of wars from Africa to India produced a radically new geopolitical situation. By 140 Rome had spread to the borders of Asia Minor and the Seleukid Empire was confined to Syria. In 150 Rome was confined to the western Mediterranean, and the largest state was the Seleukid Empire.
These two divided the western world between them until the Arab conquests in the seventh century AD. The new great power in the Middle East was Parthia, stretching from Babylonia to Baktria. These wars have generally been treated separately, but they were connected.
The crisis began in Syria with the arrival of the pretender Alexander Balas; his example was copied by Andriskos in Macedon, formerly in Seleukid service; the reaction of Rome to defiance in Macedon, Greece and Africa produced conquest and destruction. The preoccupation of Seleukid kings with holding on to their thrones
