Hello,
Nobody knows. After he celebrated his triumph over the Parthians there is no other mention about him in the sources, only that he was granted a public funeral (funus publicum) by the Roman state. He probably died soon after the triumph. Some speculate that he must have died before Actium, because after the victory of Octavian such a prominent supporter of Antony, like Ventidius, would probably not be granted a public funeral, which is the greatest honour a dead man could receive from the Roman state. But this is just a speculation, of course.
Greetings,
Alexandr
