Quick Summary

The Treaty of Rhandeia, concluded in 63 CE, established a significant agreement between the Roman general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo and Tiridates, brother of the Parthian king Vologeses I. This treaty primarily addressed the status of Armenia. Under its terms, a member of the Parthian Arsacid dynasty would rule Armenia, but only as a Roman vassal. This arrangement aimed to create a balance of power and end hostilities between Rome and Parthia concerning control over Armenia. The treaty marked a crucial point in the complex relationship between these two empires and their influence over the region.12
