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).
