Epigram of Amazaspos
The Epigram of Amazaspos ((グルジア語:ამაზასპის ეპიგრამა)) is a funerary epigram written in Ancient Greek on an inscription found in Rome.〔Toumanoff, p. 13〕 It memorialises the death of the Pharnavazid〔Toumanoff, p. 14〕 royal prince Amazaspos, brother of kings Mihrdat I and Rhadamistus, son of king Pharasmanes I of Iberia, who died at Nisibis while accompanying the emperor Trajan on his Parthian expedition during the Roman–Parthian Wars.〔Rapp, p. 224〕〔University of Sydney, p. 101〕
The epigram seems to be a work of some ''litterateur'' in emperor Trajan's company during his Parthian expedition and it seems he was personally aware of Amazaspos' charms where he is compared to "modest maidens". It is suggested that this poet may have been emperor Hadrian himself. Authorship of the epigram for prince Amazaspos by Hadrian would explain how the text was available to be inscribed in Rome as the stone may have been erected there in a public place during Hadrian's reign as a reminder of the cost to the Roman Empire of its policy of expansion as Hadrian quickly gave up almost all the lands Trajan had conquered.〔Chaniotis, Corsten, Stroud & Tybout, p. 335〕 Presumably the prince's remains had also been transferred by Hadrian to Rome.〔Braund, p. 48〕 The inscription is dated 114-117 AD.〔Chaniotis, Corsten, Stroud & Tybout, p. 334〕 Amazaspos is also mentioned in Armazi stele of Vespasian,〔 though according to Cyril Toumanoff that Amazaspos is King Amazasp I of Iberia.〔Toumanoff, p. 15〕
