If Julius Caesar lived to invade Parthia?

Not beyond Ctesiphon. And then all the way back to Rome.

I'm not sure where Plutarch got the notion that Caesar intended, after conquering Parthia, to go north around the Black Sea and then west through Scythia and Germania all the way to Gaul, conquering everything in his path, but that seems a bit much even for someone as ambitious as Caesar. Ctesiphon strikes me as a more reasonable limit. Smile
