Siege of Hatra (197–198)
Siege Part of the Roman–Parthian War of 194–198
The siege of Hatra in 197–198 was the second siege of Hatra by Septimius Severus during the Roman–Parthian War of 194–198. He wanted to conquer Hatra because there was a temple there that had great wealth. However, this was without success, as many of his machines had been destroyed and many of his men were wounded. He abandoned the siege and withdrew his forces to Syria
