Roman soldiers and Parthian Travelers

So you have angry Romans and corrupt soldiers. But you still don't have any proof of Roman soldiers actually attacking any travellers of any nation due to a defeat in battle.

Lack of documentary evidence, of whatever nature, cannot be taken as a given because you can think of how those documents got lost etc.
