Chalkoi - Tigranes IV Augustus

Tigranes IV ruled as a Roman client king, installed by Augustus after the expulsion of Artavasdes III — a reminder of how thoroughly Armenia had become a proxy battleground between Rome and Parthia. His use of the title "Augustus" on his coinage is politically pointed: no other Armenian king adopted the title, and it signals an unusually explicit deference to Roman authority, almost certainly a condition of his installation rather than personal choice.

The reign was short and turbulent. Tigranes IV was eventually killed, possibly around 6 AD, during renewed dynastic conflict.
