Erato (Armenian: Էրատո) was a queen of Armenia from the Artaxiad dynasty. She co-ruled as Roman client queen in 8–5 BC and 2 BC–AD 1 with Tigranes IV.[1] Erato reigned alone in 1–2 AD.[2] After living in political exile for a number of years, she co-ruled as Roman client queen from 6 until 12 with Tigranes V,[3] her distant paternal relative and possible second husband. She may be viewed as one of the last hereditary rulers of her nation.[4]
