Well... we know from history Han and Rome never fought each other cuz of the geographical distance between them. Parthia and Kushan empires being in between them.
So the Han Rome conflict is pure fictional.

So the Han Rome conflict is pure fictional. I've read Polibius several times and to my disappointment he didn't mention Griffins, Goblins, Terrakkota warriors etc. either  It is a usual script for ET games. It is called "what if..." |

Rome had only one serious chance to crush Parthia and to make a direct contact with their Chinese counterpart. But unfortunately (or rather fortunately for Parthia ) the guy who initiated a crusade against Parthia was assassinated. His name was Julius Caesar. After that "Eastern project" was largely abandoned by Rome. There were many wars between them and some Roman Emperors were even taken prisoners in the Eastern wars (Julian the Apostate, for example), but, in general, no-one had planned to extend Roman territory so far to the East since the death of Caesar. |

Also Crassus. However, Crassus was a mediocre general in real life, up against Surena, a brilliant one, so he did not conquer Parthia. |
