Tigranes II, more commonly known as Tigranes the Great (Armenian: Տիգրան Մեծ Tigran Mets; Ancient Greek: Τιγράνης ὁ Μέγας Tigránes ho Mégas; Latin: Tigranes Magnus) (lived: 140 – 55 BC) was emperor of Armenia under whom the country became, for a short time, the strongest state east of the Roman Republic. He was a member of the Artaxiad Royal House. Under his reign (95-55 BC), the Armenian kingdom expanded beyond its traditional boundaries, and stretched from the Miditerranian to the Caspian Sea; this allowed Tigranes to claim the title Great King, and involved Armenia in many battles against opponents such as the Partian and Seleucid empires, and the Roman Republic. His capital city was Tigranakert, located near Silvan (east of Diyarbakır) in present Turkey.
