Triple C,
There are many people who hypothesized as to what happened to the Roman prisoners at Carrhae. One thought was that they were employed as mercenaries to a Xiongnu warlord called ZhiZhi. This warlord, along with the ex Roman soldiers, were later defeated in a siege by Han Chinese troops around 36 BC.
The two main arguments are the ones I highlighted.
1.) The troops employed the "fish scale formation" a formation that could be the testudo.
2.) The double wooden stockade, a common Roman field fortification.
As usual there is no way to prove it.
