正面描述 Draped bust of Tigranes II the Great facing right, his head encircled by a royal diadem. The king wears a distinctive Armenian tiara adorned with a star flanked by two eagles in relief, emblematic of his royal and divine pretensions. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with finely detailed facial features characteristic of late Armenian royal coinage.

附加信息

Tigranes II ruled at the peak of Armenian power, controlling territory stretching from the Caspian to the Mediterranean after his conquest of Syria in 83 BC — making him, briefly, the most powerful ruler in the Near East outside of Parthia. Bronze civic coinage of this type circulated through a kingdom that Tigranes administered from his newly founded capital, Tigranocerta, a city he reportedly populated by force-relocating inhabitants from twelve conquered Greek cities.

The date range on this issue closes with the Roman campaign under Lucullus, which sacked Tigranocerta in 69 BC and ended the expansionist phase of the reign entirely.
