Talk:Trajan's Parthian campaign

Rationale regarding "Parthian victory"
I am open to debate. If anyone is willing to show evidence towards a Roman victory, Please do so. Until i am shown rationale, I will continue to revert edits like these that give no rationale, Source or addition.
 * Despite Initial success, The Campaign suffered from Revolts, Overextension and guerrilla warfare
 * The Romans ultimately withdrew from Mesopotamia, Making no long-term gains
 * The Romans had a saying: "If you don't give up, You don't lose". inversely, if you give up, You lose.

Roman Victroy?!
How it is a Roman victory? They ran away after Trajan's death.Amir El Mander (talk) 02:27, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Because he whooped the Parthians ass, capturing their capital etc. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:05, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Adding Roman military victory
Greg has clearly mentioned that trajan achieved decisive military victories and aneexing their capital. Clifford also seems to agree with this part as well. The war is a clear of roman "Military" victory. Reason I added military. If Trajan has captured it and lost the  annexed territories by parthians army then it might have been a stalemate.but that never happened. Trajan never lost the captured province. It was Hadrian his successor who pulled out of the annexed territory and he was not the part of the campaigns 103.81.215.150 (talk) 03:26, 23 July 2023 (UTC)


 * We need the sources to support explicitly a Roman victory, that's not what i see, otherwise, it would be WP:OR. ---Wikaviani  (talk) (contribs)  03:51, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
