# Antony seizes Artavasdes of Armenia after the Parthian failure

Date: 34 BC

## The fact

In 34 BCE Antony seized Artavasdes II of Armenia and later displayed him in Alexandria. The dated royal capture is not the 36 Parthian retreat and not the Donations as a territorial grant-speech. [Mark Antony](/people/mark-antony)’s documented role is: He captured the Armenian king Artavasdes II and displayed him in Alexandria. Parthian disaster had already happened; this is the Armenian sequel. Do not twin this with the 36 Parthian failure row. Capture of an ally-king is a later instrument. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Mark Antony's documented role is: He captured the Armenian king Artavasdes II and displayed him in Alexandria. Parthian disaster had already happened; this is the Armenian sequel.

## Context

A blamed ally, a need for a success after Media, and a later Alexandrian triumph-like show already structure the file. A captured king is not unique authorship of Armenian kingship. Named others on the file: Artavasdes II, Armenian nobles, and the Alexandrian court as display-audience share the heading. The public setting is the file around -0034-01-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays Antony seizes Artavasdes of Armenia after the Parthian failure. The setting of Antony seizes Artavasdes of Armenia after the Parthian failure is the public file around -0034-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of Antony seizes Artavasdes of Armenia after the Parthian failure. Naming Mark Antony does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from -0034-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and [Plutarch](/people/plutarch) independently date the seizure of Artavasdes as distinct from the 36 Parthian failure. Official: Britannica — Mark Antony, Armenia and Artavasdes (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mark-Antony-Roman-triumvir; Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent: Perseus — Plutarch, Antony, Artavasdes (https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:2008.01.0007; Perseus Digital Library). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph.
