What is Tiridates III of Armenia?
{{Infobox Monarch | name =Tiridates III of Armenia | title =King of Armenia | image =Tiridates III of Armenia-Baptism.jpg | father =Chosroes I of Armenia |}} '''Tiridates III''' (or '''Trdat III''') was the king of [[Armenia]] ([[286]]-[[330]]), and was also known as '''Tiridates the Great'''. (Some scholars may be wrong because they call him as Trdat IV as a result of the fact that [[Tiridates I of Armenia]] reigned twice.) In [[301]], [[Tiridates]] made [[Christianity]] as the sole religion in Armenia, making Armenia the first [[Christian]] state in the world. == References == *Translated from the Armenian: Mihran Kurdoghlian, Badmoutioun Hayots, A. hador [Armenian History, volume I], Athens, [[Greece]], 1994, pg. 96-105. *The [[Library of Congress]] - Armenia - A Country Study *Yuri Babayan - Tiridates the Great {{bio-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Tiridates 03 of Armenia}} [[Category:Monarchs of Armenia]] [[Category:286 births]] [[Category:330 deaths]]
