Tigranes the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (773 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.
