Commentary


Léon Ier roi d’Arménie fit de Sis sa capitale en 1196, ce monnayage ne peut être que postérieur à cette date. Le lion est l’emblème des Thakavors, “celui qui possède la couronne”, c’est-à-dire le roi.

Historical background


CILICIA - KINGDOM OF ARMENIA - LEO I King of Armenia

(1198-1219)

Armenians first lived around Lake Van. Nicephorus II Phocas (963-969) settled a significant part of the Armenian people in Cilicia. After the Seljuk invasion in Asia Minor, it constituted an independent principality whose first monarch was Roupen (1080-1095). Leo II received from Emperor Henry VI, in 1198, a crown which made him an independent monarch of Byzantium which would fall in 1204. Leo II made Sis his capital in 1196. Leo II (Levon II) is sometimes called Leo I ( Levon I) as king of Armenia, but this numbering is not unanimous. Indeed, he is the first to be crowned king of Armenia in 1198, before they were "Princes of the mountains".
