text_original: Statius Priscus, the commander who had been put forward by his men against his will as a pretender to the throne, proved his loyalty once more by his success  ful march into Armenia, and the conquest of its capital Artaxata. Avidius Cassius meantime, with the bulk of the Roman army, pushed on direct towards Parthia, proved his valour and address in many a hard fought battle, and drove back the beaten enemy at last beyond the walls of Seleucia and Ctesiphon.
