Tiridates began as an infant prince of Armenia, saved from destruction by the fidelity of a faithful servant when his father Chosroes was killed. Educated under Roman protection, he developed exceptional strength and martial skill, competing in the Olympian games. He was restored to his throne wearing royal Armenian attire and maintained a firm alliance with Constantine while converting to Christianity. He reigned for fifty-six years before his lawful heir was driven into exile.
Description
An infant with dark hair and olive skin, wrapped in royal Armenian attire, small and delicate features, innocent expression, swaddled in fine fabrics indicating noble birth.
