I found an article published by the Louisiana State University that discussed the anger felt by the Roman Soldiers after one of their Parthian defeats.

This proves that they would have motive to victimize unwary Parthian travelers. I can also prove that not all Roman soldiers were on the up and up so to speak. Obviously I can't rely on specific atrocity stories because they probably were destroyed hundreds of years ago. But based upon the anger of the Roman soldiers and the corruption of some of those soldiers, it wouldn't be hard to conclude that at least some of them victimized unwary Parthian travelers.
By the way, if anyone is interested, my name is Ted.
