Tiridates III of Armenia
Tiridates III (spelled Trdat; Armenian: ; 250-330) was the king of Arsacid Armenia (287–330), and is also known as Tiridates the Great ; some scholars incorrectly refer to him as Tiridates IV as a result of the fact that Tiridates I of Armenia reigned twice). In 301, Tiridates proclaimed Christianity as the state religion of Armenia, making the Armenian kingdom the first state to embrace Christianity officially.〔Binns, John. ''An Introduction to the Christian Orthodox Churches''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002, p. 30. ISBN 0-521-66738-0.〕
==Early Childhood==
Tiridates III was the son of Khosrov II of Armenia by an unnamed mother, the latter being assassinated in 252 by a Parthian agent named Anak under orders from Ardashir I. Tiridates had one known sibling, a sister called Khosrovidukht and was the namesake of his paternal grandfather, Tiridates II of Armenia. Anak was captured and executed along with most of his family, while his son, Gregory the Illuminator, were sheltered in Caesaria, in Cappadocia. Being the only surviving heir to the throne, Tiridates was quickly taken away to Rome soon after his father’s assassination while still an infant. He was educated in Rome and was skilled in languages and military tactics;〔 Grigoryan, V. ''«Տրդատ Գ Մեծ»'' (Tiridates III the Great). Armenian Encyclopedia. vol. xii. Yerevan, Armenian SSR, 1987, p. 94.〕〔 Movses Khorenatsi. ''History of Armenia, 5th Century'' (''Հայոց Պատմություն, Ե Դար''). Gagik Sarkisyan (ed.) Yerevan: Hayastan Publishing, 1997, 2.79.

The Armenian historian Movses Khorenatsi described him as a brave and strong warrior who participated in the battles against enemies. He personally led his army to victories in many battles.
