This war was not the result of the Romans declaring war on Parthia. It was the Parthians who started it. Their king, Vologases IV, invaded Armenia, a Roman client state, expelled its king and installed his own. The first Roman response was not by Lucius Verus or Marcus Aurelius (his co-emperor). It was by Marcus Sedatius Severianus, the governor of Cappadocia. He was defeated. After that the Parthians invaded Syria. The Romans sent a senator to fight there. Lucius Verus was only the third man who was sent to lead the fight against the Parthians. It was decided to send him instead of Marcus Aurelius. Ostensibly this was because he was stronger and healthier than Marcus Aurelius. However, a Roman writer suggested different motives.
