i think roman empire would winWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
During the existence of the Roman Empire, Persia (or Parthia) clashed multiple times, and both parties had either won or lost battle!. When Rome was in its peak under Trajan, the Romans were able to conquer capital of Persia and went as far as Susa and put own vassal king on the throne!. Persians were unable to do so with their western neighbor!. In paraphrase of Libanius who wrote about Emperor Julian the Apostate “the Persian hearing that you had a crossed Euphrates, were praying that you would cross the Rhine”!. Rome was stronger than Persia, but due the distance and indirect threat to Roman power, it was impossible to conquer them!. Besides, Persian were fighting on their own land, while Romans were invaders!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, the Romans and Persians did fight!.

The Persians won most of the time!. One victory, they even captured a Roman Emperor and after parading them around Susa (then capital of the Persian Empire) killed him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Romans fought the Persians and lost!.
Rome was at the far end of it's supply line!. Persia was fighting for it's homeland!.
No contest!.
