Tigranes I ruled Armenia as a Seleucid vassal for most of his reign, and the bronze coinage issued under him reflects the awkward cultural position of a kingdom caught between Hellenistic convention and emerging Armenian identity. His successor, Tigranes II "the Great," would go on to briefly construct one of the ancient world's most ambitious territorial empires — making the modest bronzes of Tigranes I effectively the opening chapter of that story.
Bedoukian's catalog of Armenian coinage remains the foundational reference for this series, though Kovacs has refined the attribution of several die groupings since its publication.
