Here we go:

 

Autumn 133

• Roman reinforcements are sent marching overland from Illyria to Macedonia, en route to the new province of Asia.
• The Sicilian Slave Revolt is finally put down.
• The Parthians march from the Bactrian border to make a surprise invasion of Babylonia; the Ptolemaic defenders retire in haste to Palmyra.

Spring 132

• The Roman reinforcements arrive in Asia.
• The Parthians incorporate Babylonia.

Summer 132

• Pergamum formally capitulates before the legions of Rome; tax farmers move in en masse.
• The Parthians move into Assyria.

Autumn 132

• The Romans continue to mop up chunks of Asia Minor by marching into Phrygia.
• The Parthians take Assyria unopposed.

Spring 131

• Rome annexes Phrygia.
• The Egyptians reinforce Palmyra.
• The Parthians raid Syria; anarchy ensues northwards as various petty kingdoms emerge to the east of Galatia.

Summer 131

• The Romans march into Lydia.
• The Parthians return with treasure to Assyria.

Autumn 131

• Lydia falls to Rome.
• The Parthians move into Adiabene.

Spring 130

So that's it; a period of relative peace as the Romans and Parthians mop up a large number of minor territories between them, and everyone else builds up their forces. The next battle sees a large Ptolemaic army facing off against the might of Parthia.
