This assumption, based on a single passage in a source whose veracity and reliability has repeatedly been questioned, cannot be proved and appears to be false.

In this article, the whole history of Romano-Parthian relations is briefly summed up and the author tries to point out that, in reality, no summit of heads of these two states ever occurred. |
