Julius Caesar, with Armenia as a firm ally, having uttered his great, Veni, Vidi, Vici, only after conquering an enemy threatening Armenia minor, made close ties with Armenia, being formidable.
What greater honor than to be a kingdom, a people, a land unconquered by the greatest Emperor in the history of mankind, but an ally. Halted at the border, ceasing to cross, Caesar’s forces had no desire to conquer Armenian land, instead as friends of Rome allowing them crossing to invade Persian territory. This explains many features of Armenian people, of statues and art and even today, being in the likeness of Roman gods.
Unlike Alexander the Great, unable to conquer Armenia, and instead stipulating a taxation through a satrap of his own. He only did so in his imagination as his lips uttered lies in a speech to his people, soon later to be corrected by his contemporaries in further speeches indicating clearly that he in fact did not and was unable to conquer Armenia.
