(1st c. BC - 1st c. AD),
Anahit Mousheghian, Georges Depeyrot,
During the first Century BC and the beginning of the first Century AD, the Armenian Kingdom struck Silver and Bronze Coinage. The main part of the Coinage was issues of Tigranes II. He began to strike after his invasion of the Seleucid Kingdom and continued his production of coins during and after the war against Lucullus and Pompeius. His successors continued to strike, but the quantities of coins decreased. The last Armenian issues were Roman denarii of the C L CAESARES type. This book presents a new corpus of the Armenian issues of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. More than 2.500 coins are catalogued. A new chronology and a new organization of coinage are presented. The Coinage is attributed to several mints of Syria and Armenia.
