The Roman Republic was embroiled in a series of protracted conflicts in the east.
The Mithridatic Wars pitted Rome against the powerful Kingdom of Pontus, led by the enigmatic Mithridates VI, culminating in the Roman annexation of much of Anatolia.
Simultaneously, Rome grappled with the Parthian Empire, a formidable adversary in the east, resulting in a series of inconclusive wars that defined the eastern frontier of the Roman world.
