Crassus crosses the frontier at Zeugma (Seleukeia)
Oddly enough, the campaign featured a number of face-to-face contacts, and in one interview a Parthian envoy demanded the reason for this unprovoked invasion. If the war was being waged without the consent of the Roman people, as Orodes had been informed, then the king would show mercy and take pity on the advanced age of Crassus; but if the invasion was official, then it was to be a war without truce or treaty. Provoked to fury, Crassus replied that he would answer the kingâs demands in Seleukeia-on-Tigris. Vagises, the eldest of the envoys, then stretched out the palm of his hand and swore to Crassus: âSooner will hair grow here than you shall reach Seleukeiaâ (Dio 40.16.3, cf. Plut. Crass. 18.1â2).
