This great Parthian power had most intimate and friendly relations with the Armenians. [1]
Roman-Parthian became strongly centered in Armenia, which was located in between Parthian and the Roman Empire. The Armenians had already played a role in the early history of the Roman-Parthian relations.
Tigran put military political relations with Rome and Parthia on an International legal foundation.[2]
[edit] History
The Parthians were considered allies by most Armenians at this time (especially in Greater Armenia and Lesser Armenia tended to be more pro-Roman). Many Parthian noble houses had branched out and established themselves in Armenia. [3]
| “ | This reciprocity between Parthian and Armenian strength would characterize their relations for decades. Not until Phraates III would the rampaging Tigranes at last be checked, and that only with the counterweight of Roman Arms. In the meantime he would wrest from the Parthians not only territories but even the title King of Kings. [4] | ” |
