Hello y'all,
Question, I know this is rather ASB but still. What would it take for the Persians to conquer/plunder the city of Rome during the Empire?
I'm asking that because after all the Romans did conquer Mesopotamia a few times (Julian for example) even if they couldn't hold it.
Now, it would be a big campaign, but again the romans did do far reaching campaigns, like Ceasar who went all the way to Britain.
So, this is also a why? The Persians seemed like good foes but it seems like the Romans were better at the offensive? Is it just the terrain with the Syrian desert?
