High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Erato (flourished 1st century BC and 1st century AD) was a Princess, queen of Armenia and the last member on the throne of the Artaxiad Dynasty. She was the daughter of Armenian King Tigranes III and half-sister/wife of King Tigranes IV. In the centuries before Christianity, incestuous marriages were common at Hellenistic courts in order to preserve the purity of the royal blood. Her image appears on an ancient coin which currently keeps at the National Library in Paris. She was the only Armenian sovereign to ascend to the throne three times. Erato reigned along with her brother Tigranes IV from 8 to 5 BC, 2 BC to 2 and later with Tigranes V, 6 to 11. Roman Emperor Augustus sent Tiberius to appoint Artavasdes III of Armenia as King of Armenia, who was a cousin of Tigranes IV and Erato. Tigranes IV and Erato instigated a civil war with the aid of King of Phraates V of Parthia. Данное издание представляет собой компиляцию сведений, находящихся...
