Alan invasion of Parthia
Invasion of the Alanians into Media and Armenia
The Alan invasion of Parthia (72) occurred in 72 when the Alans, a nomadic Sarmatian people, launched a major raid into the Parthian Empire and its vassals through the Caucasus Mountains. The invasion is one of the earliest recorded military encounters between the Alans and the settled kingdoms of Transcaucasia and is primarily described by the 1st-century Jewish historian Josephus in his work The Jewish War.
