THE  DEFEAT  OF  ROMAN  LEGIONS

Written by Gevork Nazaryan

After a number of battles in western Asia Minor against the Roman invaders, Mithridates along with around two to four thousands courtiers withdrew to the Armenian domain and the protection of Tigran. As earlier noted, during this period the King of Kings faced palace revolts headed by two of his sons -- Zareh and Tigran -- who only persuaded their own power-hungry ambitions of seizing the crown, with the help of outside forces, the Parthians and/or the Romans. Plutarch noted that, "Mithridates meanwhile, a panic-stricken fugitive, found welcome with Tigranes, King of Armenia, who comforted his despair, raised his drooping spirits and restored his ruined fortunes." An emissary from Lucullus demanded the handover of Mithridates, Tigran refused and sent the emissary back to his commander. Now the war between Armenia and Rome was inevitable. Lucullus entered Armenia in the spring of 69. He knew that the most vulnerable point in the west was the Tsop'k' Province [Sophene] which along with the important Province of Korduk (Gordyene) of Greater Armenia had a history of separatist tendencies. Now Tigran faced numerous fronts and enemies within and without. The Parthians were massing on the southern frontier of the Empire, waiting for the right moment to strike, the Romans were encroaching to the West -- yet both of these powers would only achieve victory against Tigran's fighting machine if they acted in a coordinated unison -- a two front scenario. Tigran knew that he had the support of the Army, especially the Armenian Cavalry, that was fiercely loyal to Tigran. It is interesting to note here that Plutarch considered the entry of the Roman general into Greater Armenia a military blunder, since the highlanders were prepared to fight to the death, shoulder to shoulder -- with the regular Imperial Army -- from their impregnable highlands . He wrote "He [Lucullus] seemed to be making a reckless attack, and one admitted on no saving calculation, upon warlike nations, countless thousands of horsemen, and a boundless region surrounded by deep rivers and mountains covered with perpetual snow."

The Romans under Lucullus -- after the treachery at Tigranakert -- became somewhat arrogant -- looking for an easy victory. Tigran's High Priests advised the Emperor to have the decisive battle by the river Aratsani [Arsanias]. He knew that many warriors believed that they will be victorious if the battle is fought by the sacred river. They were right. The Armenian Cavalry came through for Tigran this time as well. The charging horsemen broke the Roman legion formations and chased the fleeing Romans all the way back to the western frontier. Simultaneously, Mithridates led an Armeno-Pontic force and liberated Cappadocia and Pontus itself. The initial successes [if one can consider the burning of Tigranakert as such] of Lucullus faded. After the crushing defeat, the Roman senate recalled the pro consul back to Rome.
