Roman–Armenian Wars

The Roman–Armenian Wars were a series of military conflicts between the Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Armenia from the 1st to the 4th centuries AD. These wars occurred as Rome aimed to control Armenia’s strategic location between the Roman and Persian Empires, often involving interventions to influence Armenia’s rulers or protect Roman interests. Armenia’s position made it a buffer zone, leading to repeated clashes over sovereignty and alliances. The conflicts contributed to Armenia's gradual Romanization and shaped its political landscape, reinforcing Rome's eastern borders and regional dominance during this period.
