[edit] Confrontation at Jaxartes

I'm wondering, does anyone have information regarding a curious battle: a confrontation at the river Jaxartes in Parthia of Roman and Chinese expeditionary forces, the only such clash in history? It was in the middle of the II century AD, I think, and as far as I remember, the Chinese were victorious.

Silencer

Yes, I heard about it, although I think there are differnt version on whom was victorious. As far as I know the remnant of Crassus campaign against Parthia, all POW at that time were made military units to fight in the East and encountered the Chinese (whose empire went far more west at these times into the Fergana valley). This is no battle of the Roman military as they were Parthian troops fighting the Chinese. Ask the Chinese military history task force more about it. Wandalstouring 22:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] grouping by wars

while in articles we usually have battles grouped by wars or camapigns we should also indicate to which chain of events these belonged here. Wandalstouring 22:57, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
