# Treaty of Rhandeia (63)

URL: https://allhistories.com/iran/timeline/63-treaty-of-rhandeia
Location: Rhandeia, Armenia
Themes: Treaty

After the Roman–Parthian War of 58–63, in which the Parthians defeat a Roman army under Paetus at Rhandeia in 62, Vologases I and the Roman general Corbulo reach a settlement in 63 CE. Vologases' brother Tiridates is recognised as king of Armenia on condition that he receives his crown from the Roman emperor.

## Why it matters
The compromise made Armenia a shared sphere, ruled by an Arsacid prince under Roman investiture, a formula that endured for centuries.
