Descriptionof Rome's Great Eastern War
Manufacturer

Despite Rome's conquest of the Mediterranean, Roman influence barely extended into the East by the turn of the 1st century BC. In the century following Rome's victory over the Seleucid Empire in the 180s BC, the East was dominated by the rise of new kingdoms: Parthia, Armenia, and Pontus vied to revive the glory of the Persian Empire. By the 80s BC, the Pontic Kingdom under Mithridates had become so powerful that it conquered and annexed all of the eastern Roman Empire and even occupied Greece. As Rome recovered from the devastating effects of the First Civil War, a new generation of generals emerged, eager to restore Roman military supremacy and, following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, to establish a new empire in the East. This work analyzes the campaigns and battles between a resurgent Rome and the various powers of the eastern Mediterranean, which ultimately ushered in a new phase of Roman expansion and reshaped the ancient East.
