In 169, Marcus set out from Rome to command his army against a series of incursions by Germanic tribes known as the Marcomannic Wars. The Romans eventually defeated the Parthians and in 166 sacked their capital, Ctesiphon, in Mesopotamia. In 161, the Parthians invaded the Roman province of Syria and the client state of Armenia. However, even during this golden age, hostilities still persisted on several fronts. Marcus reigned as Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180 and is widely seen as the last of the Five Good Emperors and the final emperor during the Pax Romana, a 207-year period of peace and prosperity.
