Roman province of Assyria, 120 CE

Assyria was a province of the Roman Empire, roughly situated in modern-day northern Iraq. This area was highly contested with the Parthian/Sassanian empires and Armenia. Rome only got full controll of this area in 230 CE after brief control in 161-165 and under Septimus Severus in 194-199. Two Legions were stationed in this province to protect from Sassanian incursions. The province was lost under Jovian in 363, after a hasty peace deal so he could head for Constantinople to consolidate his power. Image File history File links REmpire-Assyria. ...
