  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    Tigranes IV (flourished 1st century BC and 1st century AD) was an Armenian prince and the son of the King Tigranes III. He was the husband to his half-sister Erato of Armenia. Triganes ruled from 12 BC-1 BC. The reign of these last kings in the Artaxiad Dynasty was characterized by various civil wars which weakened Armenia.

    The ruling of Tigranes IV characterized with the raise of anti-Roman campaign within Armenian Kingdom. According to Xiphil, the Roman Empire did not approve Tigranes IV on the Armenian throne due to the strengthening of Parthia's influence and pro Parthian camp in Armenia. As another major regional power Parthian Empire permanently competed with Rome over expanding the influence in the Armenian Kingdom. Roman historian Sextus Rufus informed about Armenian resistance against the Roman Empire during the reign of Tigranes IV. He emphasized that Armenians were strong at that period. However, the Roman Empire enabled to set down Armenian resistance and temporarily established its hegemony over Armenian crown through pro Roman-oriented nobles. Lately, in 2 BC, Tigranes IV returned to power in Armenia likely with the help of Parthian Kingdom. However, his second term was very short since in 1 BC, he was killed during a war against one of the Caucasian tribes.
    2 to 53 AD

    After the death of Tigranes IV, who was the last king in the Artaxiad Dynasty, Roman Emperor Augustus sent his grandson, Gaius Caesar, together with an army to Armenia, so that King Ariobarzanes II of Media Atropatene, would hand over the Armenian throne to him. The Roman historian Tacitus wrote that the Armenians accepted him because of his outstanding beauty and bravery.
