From Warlike

Q16209451




The Battle of Ctesiphon took place in 263 between the Sassanid Empire and a Palmyrene army under king Odaenathus. Following the Sasanians' defeat and evection from Roman Syria and Cappadocia at the hands of Odaenathus and Balista in 260, the Palmyrene monarch invaded Mesopotamia and stood at the walls of Ctesiphon and devastated the region around it, however he could not conquer it. The logistical problems of fighting in enemy territory forced the Palmyrenes to leave the siege carrying with them numerous prisoners and booty. The prisoners were sent to Rome, enabling the Roman emperor Gallienus to hold a triumph.
