There were two major empires: The Romans and the Persians. They kept at each other's for a long time, but neither really ever came close to taking over the other one. So it is possible that Romans had excursions into Iraq (a most dangerous venture like the Cuban Missile Crisis) just as the Persians went to Greece. But I doubt that even the Romans thought they could stay there for long. And any "hell breaking lose" would have more to do with the superpower next door than the local population.
