Kingdom of Armeniaball

Ancient Armeniaball was a Caucasic kingdom, disputed between SPQRball and Parthiaball.

History
Ancient Armeniaball born shortly before Urartuball died. He was then adopted by Achaemenidball till becoming independent when Macedonball defeated Achaemenidball.

In first century BC he rose to his greatest power, his clay stretching from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. After a few decades SPQRball and Parthiaball hacked him back down to size though. He was allowed to exist because both SPQRball and Parthiaball knew that if one of them took his clay, the other would invade them. He was good friends with both though. He disliked Sassanidball however, for killing his friend Parthiaball. Was of mighty pagan who followed glorious dragon-remover Vahagn and golden mother Anahit until 301, when he decided to become Christian (first country to do so), partly to piss Sassanidball off. He then made his own Elvish alphabet, that modern Armeniaball still uses. Eventually, his clay was divided up between Byzantineball and Sassanidball. He did not really die though, merely got passed from empireball to empireball for a few centuries, resurfacing in the 800's AD as Bagratid Armeniaball.

Had three main dynasties:
 * Orontid (570 BC - 200 BC)
 * Artaxiad (189 BC - 12 AD)
 * SPQRball Rule (12 AD - 54 AD)
 * Arsacid (54 AD - 428 AD)

Armeniaball is his direct successor, or perhaps the same ball reborn. Turkeyball likes to pretend he never existed, despite that it is well-documented he did.

Relationships

 * SPQRball: Mostly a friend, though he is overbearing sometimes, and he wants my clay.
 * Ancient Greeceball: We were good friends before SPQRball absorbed him. Similar culture and religion. Even borrowed his alphabet for a while. But the Anahit statue is of mine! It's not a statue of Aphrodite or Artemis dammit!
 * Parthiaball: Best friend, we also have similar culture and gods. Glory to Mihr/Mithra!
 * Kingdom of Pontusball: My little friend. Don't worry, I'll protect yuo.
 * Sassanidball: Boo, bring friend Parthiaball back! Just for that I'm converting to Christian!
 * Caucasian Albaniaball: Cute little wannabe of me.

How to Draw
Orontid Ancient Armeniaball was too old for flag, but Ancient Armeniaball had two flags later.

Artaxiad Armeniaball: Arsacid Armeniaball:
 * Draw a circle
 * Draw a golden star/flower with eagles on each side with their heads turned toward each other.
 * Color background purple.
 * Draw the eyes and you're finished.
 * Same but draw two birds facing one another, with a golden sun design in between, against a blue background.
