Armenian Kingdom, Tigranes V (Herodian Tigranes I), c. 6 - 12 A.D.
|Armenian| |Kingdom|, |Armenian| |Kingdom,| |Tigranes| |V| |(Herodian| |Tigranes| |I),| |c.| |6| |-| |12| |A.D.|, "The reign of Tigranes V has generally been described as uneventful; his coins are similarly unremarkable. They do not commemorate any historical or military events but merely copy designs common to the Seleucid and autonomous city coinage of Mesopotamia, Syria, and Phoenicia. The standing Herakles/Vahagn, which was employed extensively by Tigranes the Great (CCA, 99-103), would have had particular appeal for the Phoenician population, as well as the Armenian." -- Frank L. Kovacs in "Tigranes IV, V, and VI: New Attributions"
