The last battle between the Parthians and the Romans - the battle of Nasisbis was a draw. The Parthians had their armored camels while the Roman's employed the caltrops.
Parthian weakness, not Roman strength led the the capture of Csitephon several times. However, the Romans could never push through the Parthian heartland in the Iranian Plateau. Same for the Parthians, the furthest west they could go was Judea and Syria.
