NEW MAP: Europe 114: Trajan’s Conquest of Armenia (23 Sep 114) https://buff.ly/2HIAZG4 In an attempt to placate the Romans, Shah Osroes I of Parthia had Axidares of Armenia deposed and replaced by another of his nephews, Parthamasiris. Trajan invaded Armenia anyway, rejecting Parthamasiris’ attempt at submission and annexing the entire country to the Roman Empire in 114. #ancient #2ndcentury #ancienteurope #ancientrome #armenia #cartografia #cartographic #ancientarmenia #europe #europeanhistory #geopolitics #historia #historical #historicalplace #historie #history #historyfacts #historygeek #historymatters #antoninedynasty #maps #parthia #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #caesar #trajan #oldeurope #newmap (at Artashat, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B80mEbYgOdG/?igshid=1lj4mcvrjxi82

NEW MAP: Europe 113: Outbreak of Trajan’s Parthian War (19 Oct 113) https://buff.ly/2OVzjgf In c.109 yet another civil war broke out in Parthia, with Shah Osroes I gaining control of the west of the empire and Vologases III the east. The following year Osroes installed his nephew Axidares as king of Armenia, but failed to consult the Romans beforehand and thus violated the Treaty of Rhandeia (63 AD). Despite Osroes’ apologies, Trajan took this as a pretext for war, marching on the eastern frontier in 113. #ancienthistory #ancienteurope #ancientrome #armenia #bithynia #carta #edessa #epirus #europe #europeanhistory #historisch #historybuff #historyclass #historyfacts #historygram #historylesson #historymaker #mapmaking #maps #parthia #pontus #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #trajan #anatolia #patreon #welovehistory #newmap (at Artashat, Armenia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j92ZyAE2C/?igshid=8xdvbzh9nn1

NEW MAP: Europe 69: Revolt of the Batavi (24 Oct 69 AD) https://buff.ly/2p3l7rY In August 69 the Danube legions declared for Vespasian (in Egypt), invading Italy and defeating the Roman emperor Vitellius at the Second Battle of Bedriacum in October. Meanwhile, on the Rhine, the Batavi and allied tribes—including many veteran auxiliary troops—rose up against Vitellius’ attempts to forcibly conscript them, defeating two Roman legions. The Batavi held out for a year, finally surrendering to Vespasian’s forces in 70 AD. #ancient #ancienteurope #ancientrome #romanemperor #vespasian #batavi #belgium #cartographer #cartography #dutchhistory #europe #europeanhistory #historicalplace #historie #historygeek #historymaker #historymatters #instahistory #map #maps #nederlands #netherlands #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #worldhistory #newmap (at Xanten) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4CGSvwAy-Z/?igshid=841ztdrvfaxa
