late 195 Annexation of Osroene
Following the fall of Pescennius Niger in Syria (194), the Roman client kingdom of Osroene and the Parthian client kingdom of Adiabene besieged the Roman city of Nisibis. Septimius Severus responded by conquering Osroene and annexing almost all of its territory—except for Edessa—as the Roman province of Osrhoene.
