The Battle of Hrandea, a military clash between the Armenian-Parthian and Roman armed forces in the spring of 62 in a place called Rhandeia. The Armenian army was led by Tiridates I the Parthian by Vologases I, and the Roman by Paetus.

The Roman legions pass under the yoke of Armenian spears, which was the most humiliating punishment for a soldier, then flee and leave the territory of the Great Armenian. Two years later, in the year 64, in the same place of the battle, the Treaty of Rhandeia[5]  was signed, by which Tiridates I was declared the Armenian king and founded the Arsacid dynasty of Armenia.
