To the surprise of the Romans, Vologases had the two men sent to Caracalla in 215, thus denying him his pretext.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChaumontSchippmann1988574–580_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChaumontSchippmann1988574%E2%80%93580-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Caracalla's choice of contacting Vologases instead of Artabanus shows that the Romans still saw him as the dominant king.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESchippmann1986a647–650_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchippmann1986a647%E2%80%93650-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Caracalla then chose to preoccupy himself with an invasion of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Armenia_(antiquity)" title="Kingdom of Armenia (antiquity)">Armenia</a>.
