THE PARTHIAN POLICY OF MARK ANTHONY: DEFENSE - OFFENSIVE -BORDER SECURITY
Abstract
The article deals with the question of the stages of the Parthian policy by Mark Antony. It is believed that he went to the Orient with the intention of making a campaign in Parthia, but the facts draw a more complex picture of the Roman-Parthian relations at that time. After his arrival in the Orient, in 42-40 BC., he carried out a series of measures connected with the strengthening of Roman authority in the provinces. Among these measures were the replacement of local rulers; the Parthians were especially alarmed by a campaign on the important trading city of Palmyra. This caused the invasion of the Parthians, who easily captured the Roman provinces; the troops of the latter were withdrawn for action in the West at that time. The struggle with Parthian invasion lasted until 38 BC. Later Anthony made an unsuccessful invasion to Parthia, seeking to establish a Roman protege on the Parthian throne and to make the kingdom dependent on Rome. He did not achieve the goal, but in 35-34 BC., having annexed Armenia and having concluded an alliance with the Media, he laid the foundations of a system that ensured the security of the Roman eastern border. A number of elements of this system inherited the Parthian policy of Augustus.
