Politics, Ideology and Landscape: Early Christian Tigranakert in Artsakh

Hamlet Petrosyan · 2021

Catalogue summary

Excavations at Artsakh’s Tigranakert exposed an early Christian church square, a cross-bearing stela, a cemetery, and a reliquary; parallels at Amaras and Vachar connect east-facing tomb access with Vachagan’s reforms and Jerusalem.

Why this matters

The combined material and textual argument supplies a focused account of sacred topography and church policy in early medieval Artsakh.
