Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Roman Persian Wars were a series of conflicts between states of the Greco-Roman world and two successive Persian empires. Contact between Parthia and the Roman Republic began in 92 BC; wars began under the late Republic, and continued through the Roman and Sassanid empires. They were brought to an end by the Arab Muslim invasions, which struck the Sassanid and Byzantine East Roman empires with shattering effect shortly after the end of the last war between them. Although warfare between the Romans and the Parthians/Sassanids lasted for seven centuries, the frontier remained largely stable. A game of tug of war ensued: towns, fortifications, and provinces were continuously sacked, captured, destroyed, and traded. Neither side had the logistical strength or manpower to maintain such lengthy campaigns far from their borders, and thus neither could advance too far without risking stretching their frontiers too thin. Both sides did make conquests beyond the border, but the balance was almost always restored in time.
