In this last century before the Christian Era the Mediterranean area was entirely dominated by the Roman Empire with interval strong resistance in the east by the Parthians. Both of these powers, however, had to keep watchful eyes on their frontiers - the Romans to the north where both Celts and Germans were proliferating and the Parthians to the north and east where new Asiatic hordes were beginning to build. In the Far East the great Han Dynasty of China probably equaled or surpassed the Romans in many cultural aspects, size and accomplishments.
