2:41Now PlayingFor over six centuries, the Roman Empire failed to conquer Persia! 🛡️ Why? It wasn’t a single defeat, but a nightmare of geography and logistics. Crossing the Armenian Highlands and the Taurus Mountains was hard enough, but the wide-open plains of Mesopotamia were perfectly suited to Persian warfare. Rome's heavy infantry was repeatedly decimated by highly mobile horse archers and devastating, heavily armored cataphracts. #RomanEmpire #PersianEmpire #HistoryShorts #AncientRome #MilitaryHistory #AncientWarfare #Cataphracts #Mesopotamia
