Cilica
Cilica was at its time the only safe place for Christian Armenians as other parts of the Armenian Highlands where conquered by foreign invaders. Cilicia therefore managed to safeguard Armenian traditions, sciences, religion and many forms of medieval art. Thus emphasizing the importance of this period and Kingdom to Armenians and the development of their culture. With the invasions of Mamluks, Mongols and later Turks the kingdom eventually fell to the Muslims and the Armenian population was gradually pushed out with the Armenian Genocide in 1915 as the final stroke.

Artaxiad Dynasty ruled the Kingdom of Greater Armenia from the Second Century BC to the First Century AD. King Tigran the Great’s best military asset was the Ayrudzi Cavalry which was noted in several primary sources; Strabo 64/63 BC – ca. 24 AD (Artaxiad period) said : “Artavasdes (king of the Armenians), at the time when he invaded Media, showed, apart from the rest of the cavalry, six thousand horses drawn up in battle array covered with complete armor.”
