		It is only under Cilician Armenian dynasties of the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries that the numismatic tradition of the Artaxiads is renewed.
		Further economic development created appropriate conditions for the minting of a greater number of Armenian coins by the Artashesian (Artaxiad) dynasty, which, during the second and first centuries B.C., was able to form a centralized state that spread over the Armenian plateau.
		Nevertheless, as an exceptional phenomenon, mention should be made of the curopalate Kiurike, king of the Armenian province of Lori, one of three branches of the Bagratuni dynasty, who minted bronze coins in the eleventh century depicting a bust of Christ accompanied by an inscription in Armenian.

	Iranica.com - ARMENO-IRANIAN RELATIONS in the pre-Islamic period
		The minimal archeological evidence for the eleven centuries separating the rise of the Achaemenids from the fall of the Sasanian dynasty, is derived almost exclusively from the territory of the present Republic covering but a scant fifth of historic Armenia.
		This is particularly important in the case of Irano-Armenian relations, where the junior, Armenian Arsacid dynasty survived by two centuries the overthrow of its senior, Parthian branch by the Sasanian revolution; the time lag is reflected in institutional discrepancies, since Armenian society preserved, anachronistically, an earlier Iranian pattern.
		The presence of this Iranian native dynasty can now be attested from at least 400 BCE, and it can be shown to have ruled, from the centers of Armawir and subsequently Eruandaæat (q.v.) on the middle Araxes with only a brief hiatus, until the first years of the Christian era.

		The most famous representative of the Artashessian dynasty was Tigran II the Great (95 BC-55 BC), under whom the Kingdom of Armenia stretched from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
		Recognizing the important position of Artsakh inside his kingdom, Tigran II built a city in the region and named it Tigranakert after himself (Tigranocerta, in Roman sources); its ruins are found some 50 miles to the northeast of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic's present-day capital of Stepanakert.
		The chapel is located on the eastern frontier of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, and was reputedly founded by Artsakh's monarch Vachagan II the Pious of the early medieval Arranshahik dynasty.

		Nevertheless neither he nor his successors really threw off the empires that surrounded them; a pattern began to emerge, of an Armenia with a wide measure of autonomy within the orbit of whichever great power happened to be in the ascendant.
		The vigour with which Trajan and his successors conducted their campaigns against Parthia was their own undoing, for it led to the decline of Parthia and its overthrow in AD 326 by the militant and the nationalist Sasanid dynasty.
		Moreover the quality of the imperial dynasties that surrounded her was vastly inferior to anything Armenia had ever been ruled by before.

		During Tigran's reign Armenia briefly reached its widest extension in the vacuum of power resulting from the final decline of the Seleucids, the still incomplete consolidation of the Parthian empire, and the absence as yet of Rome's full commitment to an expansionist policy in the East.
		In order to obtain his release on his accession to the throne, Tigran II was forced to surrender "seventy valleys" to the Parthians according to Strabo (11.14.15).
		Tigran's first concern on coming to the throne, was to consolidate his power at home by absorbing the adjacent south-western kingdom of Sophene, which had split off by 188 BCE under a separate branch of the Eruandid dynasty and which his predecessors had been unable to conquer.

		Artaxiad is the name of several Armenian kings and an Armenian dynasty.
		Turns out this wasn't proven, only a possibiliy because of the name of my great grandfather, which supposedly were only used by Armenians or something.
		Anyway, I'm not sure if Artaxiad (one or the other) were gay or not, so I guess it won't be "safe" switching to that either.

		The Azerbaijani are of mixed ethnic origin, the oldest element deriving from the indigenous population of eastern Transcaucasia and possibly from the Medians of northern Persia.
		This population was Persianized during the period of the Sasanian dynasty of Iran (3rd–7th century AD), but, after the region's conquest by the Seljuq Turks in the 11th century, the inhabitants were Turkicized, and further Turkicization of the population occurred in the ensuing centuries
		In ancient and early medieval times eastern Transcaucasia was populated by Iranian speakers, nomadic Turkic tribes, Kurds, and the Caucasian Albanians, who converted to Christianity in the 4th century and came under the cultural influence of the Armenians.
