Years: 36BCE - 36BCE
Antony, after invading Cilicia and Syria with an army of one hundred thousand legionnaires in 36 BCE, and hoping to further avenge the death of Crassus, launches an invasion of Parthia's ally Media Atropatene (southwest of the Caspian, named Atropatene after one of Alexander's generals, Atropates, who had established a small kingdom there).
Crossing the Armenian mountains in winter without the support of the Armenian king, his supply train is continuously raided by the Parthians, who destroy his siege engines.
Failing in his attempt to capture the Parthian fortress of Praspa, he is forced to retreat with severe losses to his legions.
