Could the answer lie in more simple cultural differences? That is, Crassus, having limited if not non-existant fore-knowledge of Parthian tactics (the Armenian "warnings"), chose to ignore it for reasons having more to do with warfare as understood by the Romans "at that time?" I.E. the thesis expressed in <em><strong>The Western Way of War</strong></em> by Victor Davis Hanson? <p>==========================================<BR><br>
"If there's one thing we don't want to see, it's Americans fighting Americans. I won't stand for it, not here, not anywhere." Sergeant Frank Tree, 10th Armored Division, Saturday, 13 December 1941... a little after 0701 hrs... somewhere near Santa Monica, Calif.</p><i></i>
