Tigranes VI ruled Armenia as a Roman client king, installed by Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo during Rome's prolonged contest with Parthia over Armenian suzerainty. His reign lasted only a few years before the political settlement of 63 AD under the Treaty of Rhandeia transferred the throne to the Arsacid Tiridates I, effectively ending his tenure. Bronze issues of client kings in this region are notoriously short-lived by definition, and Kovacs 196 is among the scarcer types attributed to him.
