Tigranes the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (687 words) |
 | Tigranes was born around 140 BCE and was the son or nephew of Artavasdes I. |
| In 83 BCE he conquered Syria, Phoenicia, and Cilicia, effectively putting an end to the Seleucid Empire, though a few holdout cities appear to have recognized the shadowy boy-king Seleucus VII Philometor as the legitimate king during his reign. |
| On 6 October, 69 BCE Tigranes was defeated by the Romans at Tigranakert and, again, at the old capital of Artaxata on 6th October 68 BCE by Lucullus. |
