Assyria (Roman province)
Assyria was a Roman province that lasted only two years (116–118 AD).
==History==
Assyria was one of three provinces (with Armenia and Mesopotamia) created by the Roman emperor Trajan〔Trajan's Parthian War and the Fourth-Century Perspective Author(s): C. S. Lightfoot Source: The Journal of Roman Studies, Vol. 80 (1990), pp. 115-126.〕 in 116 AD following a successful military campaign against Parthia, in present-day Iraq.
Despite Rome's military victory, Trajan's province was plagued with difficulties from the start. In 116, a Parthian prince named Santruces organized an armed revolt by the native Assyrians in the new Roman province. During the revolt, Roman garrisons in Assyria and Mesopotamia were driven from their posts, and a Roman general was killed as his army tried unsuccessfully to stop the rebellion.〔David Magie, ''Roman Rule in Asia Minor to the End of the Third Century After Christ'', Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1950: p. 609.〕
When Trajan died in 117, his successor, Hadrian, implemented a new policy with respect to the recently acquired territories in the east. Hadrian believed that the empire was overextended, and wanted to retract Roman rule to more easily defensible borders.〔Charles Freeman, ''The World of the Romans'', New York: Oxford University Press, 1993: p. 62.〕 As a result, Hadrian evacuated Trajan's three provinces in 118.〔''The Cambridge Ancient History, Volume XI'', London: Cambridge University Press, 1970: p. 640.〕
