Artashat (Armenian: Արտաշատ); Hellenized as Artaxata (Greek: Ἀρτάξατα), has been founded, around 176 BC, by Artaxes I, the progenitor of the Artaxiad dynasty. It was a large commercial city and the capital of ancient Armenia during this reign. The name of the city is of Iranian origin. Artaxata/Artashat can be interpreted as meaning : Joy of Artashes. Pliny: The more famous towns in Lesser Armenia are Caesarea, Aza, and Nicopolis; in the Greater Arsamosata, which lies near the Euphrates, Carcathiocerta upon the Tigris, Tigranocerta which stands on an elevated site, and, on a plain adjoining the river Araxes, Artaxata1.
