Well there are four actually but I believe that first one can be safely attributed to Tigranes VI
The second I have tentatively ID'd as Tigranes II ?
But as I know virtually nil about these little "beasties" I will wait for a confirmation

I recently went a bit overboard
(prices have gone absolutely bonkers !)
and won a 20 coin group lot mostly of Roman Provincials with some very excellent bronzes from Pisidian Antioch
The bottom row contained these 4 which I assumed were Armenians
But what Armenians ?

I realize coins should generally be posted separately but for purposes of comparison it seemed best to show them together

#1 2.67 grams 14-5mm (Tigranes VI)
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians

#2 3.07 grams 16=7mm (Tigranes II ?)
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians

#3 4.58 grams 17-8mm
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians

#4 3.20 grams 16-7mm
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians
Three-Small-Æ's-2Br02B-?-Ancient-Armenians

Opinions ?
