Summary
[edit]DescriptionCoin of Tiridates II of Armenia.jpg |
Русский: Монета царя Великой Армении Трдата II (ок. 217-252). Надпись на арамейском гласит - "трдт млк" - Трдат царь. Первая и видимо единственная монета монархов из династии армянских Аршакидов (66-428 гг.).
English: Coin of the king of Armenia Tiridates II (?), circa 217-252. AE (Bronze, 23 mm, 5.99 g, 12 h). Bearded head of Tiridates II to left, wearing four-pointed tiara tied with a diadem; all within laurel wreath. Rev. 𐡌𐡋𐡁𐡏 / 𐡕𐡓𐡃𐡈 / ΛΙΛ ('trdt mlk' in Aramaic) in three lines within laurel wreath.
The legends on this issue are often blundered and hard to read, but it was probably struck by Tiridates II, whose father Chosroes was disposed by Caracalla in 214 or 216. Tiridates II was recognized as King of Armenia by Macrinus in 217 and the first Armenian King to strike coins since Tigranes VI in 66/7 AD - yet, as it turned out, also the last (in Armenian line of Arsacid dynasty). He initially proved to be quite a successful ruler, but was eventually expelled from Armenia in 252 by the Sasanids under Shapur. |
