Tigranes I (Ancient Greek: Τιγράνης) was an Artaxiad king of Armenia at the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 1st century BC. Few records have survived about his and his predecessor Artavasdes I's reign, which has led to some confusion.[1] Some modern scholars have doubted that such a king reigned at all.[2][3] Other historians, such as Hakob Manandian, David Marshall Lang and Rouben Paul Adalian consider him a real figure but differ or are uncertain on the exact dates of his reign.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Although it has been proposed that Tigranes I reigned from 123 BC to 96 BC,[9][11] this view has been criticized.[3] Another suggestion is that Tigranes I ruled in 120 BC - 95 BC and this has been recently corroborated by historian Christian Marek.[5][12]
