person
Tigranes the Younger
Tigranes
also: Tigranes, Tigrane
The captive Armenian prince, son of Tigranes II, whom Clodius freed from custody for a bribe in 58 BC, provoking Pompey's anger. Cicero cites the episode at Att. 3.8 as evidence that no real political rupture is in the offing. Not to be confused with his father, Tigranes II 'the Great' (person:tigranes-armenia).
Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 3.8 §3 with Tigranes neglected
Tigranes the Younger, the captive Armenian prince whom Clodius had freed for a bribe, to Pompey's anger. Cicero means that since even this affront failed to provoke a breach, there is no real political shift to hope for.
