Timeline of Middle East History: 3500 BC - AD 500
  • Middle East AD 200

The Middle East continues to be divided between the hostile empires of Rome and Parthia, with the kingdom of Armenia acting as a buffer between the two, regularly fought over. The Roman empire normally has the better of the fighting, and has launched two major invasions which have penetrated deep into the heartland of the Parthian empire. This situation will soon change, however, as a new, more effective regime comes to power in Iran.
