How did Trajan defeat the Parthians?
#1
Any idea what tactics were used to defeat the Parthians? Most histories on the subject talk about Parthian's internal strife, inability to field large armies for extended periods of time (their warriors being more like knights than soldiers), and the like. But tactically how did Roman infantry and cavalry defeat the horse archers and cataphracts?

Thanks!
