War of the Armenian Succession

War of the Armenian succession of 201–200 BC was an ancient conflict between the last Orontid armenian king Yervand (Orontes) IV the Last and Artaxias I, who was led by his nanny Smbat Bagratuni, in the Kingdom of Armenia. The conflict spread to some regions of Greater Armenia, including Ayrarat and Utik. The decisive battle of the conflict took place at Yervandashat, which ended with the murder of Yervand IV. Then Artaxias orders Smbat to move to Bagaran and kill Yervaz, brother of Yervand, thus ending the Orontid dynasty in the Greater Armenia, who ruled Sophene and Commagene later. After these events Seleucids started their rule in Armenia, and Artaxias in Armenia, Zariadres in Sophene became Seleucid rulers, strategos, until they gained independence after Battle of Magnesia in 190/89 BCE.
