Битва при Нисибисе 217 г. Кровавая бойня в Месопотамии

In 216-217 a historic confrontation erupted between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Kingdom. Since 214 Emperor Caracalla Severus had been meticulously preparing a large-scale invasion to overcome obstacles emerging in Parthia, disregarding any costs. In 216, another monumental clash began between the two powers, each with its own set of internal crises and problems. In 217, the gigantic armies of the Romans and Parthians met beneath the walls of an ancient Assyrian city to engage in a bloody contest for the right to be called rulers of Mesopotamia.
