ancient Armenian province

Ancient Armenia was a historical region located in the South Caucasus, encompassing territories that lie within modern Armenia, eastern Turkey, western Georgia, and parts of Iran. It was, at times, a powerful kingdom and later a province within larger empires like Persia and Rome. The region was known for its rich cultural heritage, including early Christian traditions, distinctive architecture, and a unique language. Historically, it served as a crossroads for trade and cultural exchange between the East and West. Today, the core of ancient Armenia roughly corresponds to the modern Republic of Armenia, reflecting its enduring historical significance.
