I dunno, I'm liking my "Roman Empire vs. zombie Judea" idea.
Especially if the Romans try to figure out a way to turn the zombies against the Parthians.
Imagine how much use there is for zombies in circus and colosseum first.
Also zombies to replace donkeys in mills.
Launching zombies from catapult in parthian cities.
Our emperor is not divine you say? There is only one god, yes ?Then why the dead rise and eat you?
Zombie elephants to remove the low morale problem of elefants.
Gifting cage with zombie children to annoying barbarian leaders. With annotation telling to open the cage, so you can enjoy dancing undead children.
