Quote:Severus and Traian's failure at Hatra had cost more men then necessary, the conquered areas had to be given up or where lost under horrible losses. I'm not talking of big battles here but many of the garrisons fell sooner or later and each cost many men, that makes quite an amount in the end.L C Cinna
I think that one way or the other S Severus forced a Roman garrison on the city of Hatra. If I am correct there was for some time a cohort of palmyra there. But it was razed by the Sassanians.
Tot ziens.
