At first it appeared as though the Parthians might ignore the Roman intervention in Armenia (58–59 AD), but in 61 AD the new Armenian king attacked the Parthian client state of Adiabene. In retaliation, Shah Vologases invaded Armenia, restoring his brother Tiridates to power. The Romans responded by sending in two armies, only to suffer a humiliating defeat when one of their commanders was surrounded and forced to capitulate at Rhandeia. At the peace treaty which followed, Rome agreed to acknowledge Tiridates as king of Armenia while Tiridates agreed to swear loyalty to Rome.
