Artavazd III
Born 56
Died 34

Artavazd III (56 BC-34 BC) an educated prince who would rule over twenty years and his reign witnessed a worsening of relations between Rome and Armenia. [1] During those twenty years Rome lost the opportunity of making Armenia its permanent ally in the battle against the Persians. The fundamental cause of this was actually the Romans themselves, who had Crassus (Marcus Licinius) as their representative in the east.
