Antony feels he has no chance against Octavian on his own so he kills himself. however Cleopatra tries to make Piece with Octavian. but Octavian wants to Humiliation Cleopatra in Rome to make an example of her. when she relaizes this she kills herself too. Octavian known as Augustus Caesar became the first roman empror. he was the only adopted son of Julius Caesar.

I think that Artavazd II's strategy was completely wrong. He wanted to be a friend with the Romans and the Parthians. And he couldn't make a clear decision on which side to choose; which is the worst possible strategy because both turned to be enemies. He should have taken sides. Be either with the Romans or the Parthians. I would personally stated the following if I were him: I will remain neutral, but whoever attacks Armenia first, I will immediately sign alliance with its enemy.

If only things were that simple though. Armenia was merely a politcal tool for the two superpoweres to bargain over. If Armenia relyed solely on one of them for protection, she would've lost her independance pretty quickly -which is what happened eventually anyway. You're right in a sense though.

a year later of olive uprising, ie Year 1863 Armenian historian Stephen papaziani wrote that the Armenians did not have one-quarter of that freedom, of which the Armenians own in Turkey. Our nation, had been granted privileges, the right to freedom of thought,. And we are happy that our nation is subordinated to a large part of Turkey. As a result, our nation will be safe and live a long time.

you should know what Tigran the great said when he saw a lucullus's small army,

he said if these romans came here for negotiations they are too many and if for fighting too few.

next day he was severely defeated and fled from battlefield,in this battle died 10 000 Armenians,the casualty of romans was just up to 20 dead and 150 wounded.

you will learn this moment from Plutarch Parallel lives,biographies of Pompeius and Lucullus,

[korio999]

Tigran the great,first was defeated by Lucullus and than Pompeius the Magnus who changed Lucullus shortly after he started eastern campaign,pompeius conquered Armenia and made it Roman province,he also defeated Georgians and Albans(historical habitants of the territory of todays Azerbaidzan)so how can say in this video at 0:19 min,that Armenia was independent by that time?

I an pretty sure that u'r trying to forge the history
