Yes, I have read the book and what I see there is the same anti-cavelry formation we use in our displays.
I have also read another book on the subject, which also describes the measures taken by the retreating army to defend itself against the parthian attacks.
It was not a victory but just a success in a very disasterous campaign.
I had the impression from the other descriptions that this was the rear of the retreating army which was under attack, not so much a line of defense
as shown in the images. But still, they are interesting depictions.

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
