This
military
history
of
Ancient
Rome
analyses
the
empire’s
revitalized
push
against
rising
enemies
to
the
East.In
the
century
since
Rome’s
defeat
of
the
Seleucid
Empire
in
the
180s
BC,
the
East
was
dominated
by
the
rise
of
new
empires:
Parthia,
Armenia,
and
Pontus,
each
vying
to
recreate
the
glories
of
the
Persian
Empire.
By
the
80s
BC,
the
Pontic
Empire
of
Mithridates
had
grown
so
bold
that
it
invaded
and
annexed
the
whole
of
Rome’s
eastern
empire
and
occupied
Greece
itself.
But
as
Rome
emerged
from
the
devastating
effects
of
the
First
Civil
War,
a
new
breed
of
general
emerged
with
it,
eager
to
re-assert
Roman
military
dominance
and
carve
out
a
fresh
empire
in
the
east.In
Rome’s
Great
Eastern
War,
Gareth
C.
Sampson
analyses
the
military
campaigns
and
battles
between
a
revitalized
Rome
and
the
various
powers
of
the
eastern
Mediterranean
hinterland.
He
demonstrates
how
this
series
of
conflicts
ultimately
heralded
a
new
phase
in
Roman
imperial
expansion
and
reshaped
the
ancient East.
