The Legio III Parthica is the least known legion.

Severus was successful, the Parthian capital, Ctesiphon was sacked and Mesopotamia (Iraq) was annexed to the Roman Empire. The I Parthica and III Parthica were then stationed in Mesopotamia. The III Parthica was based at Rhesaena on the Upper Chaboras (modern Khabur) where it controlled the road between the former Arabian principalities Edessa and Nisibis. It must have taken part in the campaigns of Caracalla and his successor Macrinus (217), and the war of Severus Alexander against the new Sasanian Persian empire. In 230 the Sasanians invaded the Roman empire and installed an emperor in Emessa (Syria). Severus Alexander retook Syria and invaded Iraq. In 243 this war was renewed and the Legio III, defeated the Sassanians at Rhesaena.
