Tetrachalkon - Tigranes II Tyche

Tigranes II ruled at the peak of Armenian imperial expansion, controlling territory stretching from the Caspian to the Mediterranean at its height — a domain larger than any Hellenistic successor state of his era. These bronzes were struck during the period when Tigranes held the grandiose title "King of Kings," adopted after his conquests in Mesopotamia and Syria. The series ends abruptly in 68 BC when Lucullus's Roman legions drove deep into Armenia, sacking Tigranocerta and effectively ending the empire's western ambitions.
