Iberian invasion of Armenia
Iberian campaign placing Mithridates on the Armenian throne.
Last updated
In AD 35, Pharasmanes I of Iberia, with Roman support, invaded Armenia to install his brother Mithridates as king. The Iberian army, reinforced by Caucasian Albanian and Sarmatian auxiliaries, defeated a Parthian force led by Orodes, son of Artabanus II. Mithridates became a Roman client king, briefly extending Iberian influence in the Caucasus.
