Hi 'speedlearner',
To be able to pove anything like that you'll need a source that would tell such a story. So far I am unaware of anything like that, although I could think of scenarios in which Parthian traders would hesitate to visit Roman territory after a Roman defeat. Of course, the reverse could also be logical.
