Legacy and evaluation[edit]

Taghiadian's educational, literary and journalistic activities were highly regarded by many other Armenian authors, such as Mikayel Nalbandian, Raffi, Perch Proshian, and Shirvanzade.[1] Taghiadian did not think much of his own literary works, viewing himself more as a teacher and scholar than as a writer.[2] Nalbandian and Raffi praised Taghiadian's literary talent and ideals while lamenting that relatively few were familiar with his work. This was partly because of Taghiadian's decision to write in Classical Armenian rather than the more accessible vernacular language.

Syunik[edit]

Syunik was a very mountainous and remote region of Armenia with many fortresses and only a few towns. It was ruled for centuries by the native Siunia dynasty of princes and its branches. Syunik encompassed the entire southern half of modern-day Armenia, including the provinces of Syunik and Vayots Dzor and most of the province of Gegharkunik. It also included territories that are now part of the southwestern districts of Azerbaijan and its exclave Nakhchivan.

Vahan Mamikonian (4th century)[edit]

Vahan Mamikonian (Armenian: Վահան Մամիկոնեան, romanized: Vahan Mamikonean) was a 4th-century Armenian nobleman who, according the the history attributed to Pawstos Buzand, renounced Christianity and defected to Sasanian Iran during Shapur II's invasion of Armenia. After Shapur imprisoned the Armenian king Arshak II and executed Vahan's brother, sparapet Vasak Mamikonian, circa 368, Vahan and his nephew Meruzhan Artsruni were appointed administrators of Armenia along with two Iranian governors. Vahan and Meruzhan oversaw the imposition of Zoroastrianism in Armenia, leading to Vahan and his wife being murdered by his own son Samuel. The murder of Vahan Mamikonian by his son is the subject of the famous historical novel Samuel by the 19th-century Armenian author Raffi.

Society and government (for Arsacid dynasty of Armenia)[edit]

Nakharar system[edit]

Main article: Nakharar

The nakharar system that characterized Armenian society and internal politics for several centuries appears to have originated near or before the beginning of the Common Era, and thus existed during the entire Arsacid period in Armenia and for centuries after its end.[3] It is assumed that Armenia shared this social system with Parthian Iran.[3] Although frequently compared to medieval European feudalism by earlier scholars, more parallels can be found in the Iranian world.[3] As it was in Iran, Armenian society under the nakharar system was divided into three main estates: the nakhararkʻ (magnates, corresponding to the Iranian wuzurgān), the azatkʻ (lesser nobility, using the same word as in Parthian, āzāt), the an-azatkʻ or non-nobles, consisting of the ṛamik ("commoners," merchants and artisans) and shinakan (peasants, the overwhelming majority of the population), corresponding to Iranian vastrōšān, who were free, although the peasants could be bound to the land.[3]

The foundation of the system was the great noble houses.[3] The heads of these houses, the nakharars, were ranked by precedence according to the seat they occupied at the royal table at court.[4]
