| Summary | "The Provinces of the Roman Empire, from Caesar to Diocletian. v. 2" by Theodor Mommsen is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the provinces and peoples within the Roman Empire, specifically addressing the dynamics between Rome and its eastern adversaries, including the Parthian Empire. The book aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the political, cultural, and military interactions that defined these relationships during the imperial era. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the boundaries and interactions between the Roman Empire and the Iranian empire, particularly the Parthians. Mommsen outlines the historical significance of the Euphrates frontier and its implications for Roman expansions and conflicts. He discusses the character and composition of the Parthian empire, contrasting its traditions and governmental structures with Rome. The text introduces significant figures and events that shaped provincial governance and military confrontations, establishing a narrative that explores the complexities and challenges of maintaining an expansive empire during a time of cultural and political turmoil.
