Quintus Labienus Quintus Labienus Parthicus ( died 39 BC ) , the son of Titus Labienus , was a Roman republican general , later in the service of Parthia . After the then main political power in Rome , Julius Caesar , was murdered by a conspiracy in 44 BC , Labienus took the side of the pro - republic conspirators , lead by Brutus and Cassius , the latter of whom he served in the capacity of an ambassador to the Parthians . After Brutus and Cassius fled east to Macedonia and were defeated there in the Battle of Philippi by Caesar ' s imperialist successors ( the Second Triumvirate , particularly Mark Antony and Caesar ' s heir Octavian , the future emperor Augustus ) , Labienus joined the Parthians . The Parthians invaded the Roman territories in 40 BC , led by Pacorus and Labienus . The Parthian army crossed the Euphrates and attacked Apamea . The attack on Apamea failed but Labienus was able to entice the Roman garrisons around Syria to rally to his cause . The combined Romano - Parthian army then proceeded to defeat Mark Antony ' s governor L . Decidius Saxa in a pitched battle and took Apamea . After the Roman defeat at Apamea , the Parthians split their army . Pacorus turned south and conquered the Levant from the Phoenician coast through Palestine . Labienus turned north to follow Saxa , whom he defeated and killed in Cilicia . The initial success of Labienus was aided by the fact that that the man who was directly responsible for that part of the Roman empire , Mark Antony ( Marcus Antonius ) was at first distracted by his dalliance with Cleopatra , the queen of Egypt , according to Plutarch ' s " Life of Antony " . Then , when he finally got around to taking matters more in hand , Antony only got as far as Phoenicia , before he again became distracted , this time by his wife Fulvia , who was in some distress ( together with his brother Lucius ) , due to the current state of affairs : her husband ' s extended stay in Egypt and her failed struggles against Octavian , the paramount power in Rome . So , at his point Antony turned his attentions to other matters of the empire , but did turn handling his Labienian and Parthian problem over to his lieutenant Ventidius , while Labienus and his Romano - Parthian army proceeded to conquer the rest of Asia Minor . Under Labienus and Pacorus , the Parthians restored their territory to nearly the limits of the old Achaemenid empire and controlled all of Asia Minor except for a few cities but the Parthian successes were not long - lasting . In 39 BC , a Roman counterattack under Publius Ventidius in Asia Minor defeated Labienus , who was subsequently captured and executed . One year later Pacorus too was killed in Syria .
