| Aanvullende informatie |
Tigranes IV ruled jointly with his sister-wife Erato in the chaotic final decades of Artaxiad Armenia, a period defined less by stable governance than by Roman and Parthian powers repeatedly installing, deposing, and reinstalling client rulers. Tigranes IV was himself placed on the throne by Augustus, then removed, then restored — Erato suffered similar treatment. This coin likely circulated during one of their brief, contested joint reigns around the turn of the millennium.
Kovacs 180 is among the less commonly encountered bronzes of the late Artaxiad sequence.
