Armenia (Imperator Augustus)

Armenia has twice risen to pre-eminence in the eastern Mediterranean, and twice, its empire has felt the weight of subjugation under foreign yokes. Old men still remember when the breakdown of the Seleucid Empire enabled Tigranes the Great to gain control of Armenia’s prosperous trade routes, seizing control of Syria and much of the northern Levant in the process. Roman conquest put an end to this, and the Armenians do not intend to forget it. Now that the Republic is divided between competing successors the time is right for Armenia to marshal its ambitions and build an empire to rival its glorious past!
