What is a brief history of the 3rd Parthica Roman legion?
The Legio III Parthica is the least known legion. It was founded by the emperor Septimius Severus in 197 together with the I Parthica and the II Parthica in preparation for his campaign against Parthian Empire (the third of the four Pre- Islamic Persian empires). 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. In 244 Gordian III invaded Mesopotamia again, but he died and was succeeded by Philip the Arab, who owed his succession to the Sasanian king Shapur I. In 256 Shapur I captured Satala, the fortress of the Legio XV Apollinaris in northenr Mesopotamia, and two years later he reached the Black Sea and sacked Trapezus. the emperor Valerian invaded Mesopotamia, he was defeated and captured. Odaenathus of Palmyra (261-267) and then the emperor Diocletian (284-305), restored Roman fortunes and in 298, a peace treaty was concluded in which the Sassanians had to give up northern Mesopotamia. The Legio III must have played a role during these campaigns, but we have almost no information. The Notitia Dignitatum, written at the beginning of the fifth century, recoded the Legio III Parthica as being based at Apadna in Osrhoene, near the confluence of the rivers Chaboras and Euphrates.
