'''Tigranocerta dell'Artsakh''' (in lingua [[armena]] Արցախի Տիգրանակերտ), ''Arts'akhi Tigranakert'') è una città armena in rovina risalente al priodo [[Ellenismo|ellenistico]]. É una delle numerose città dell'[[altopiano armeno]] che riportano lo stesso nome dedicato al re armeno [[Tigrane il Grande]] (r. 95&ndash;55 B.C.).<ref name="Petrosyan">Petrosyan, Hamlet L (2010).

Alcuni studiosi, quali Robert Hewsen e Babken Harutyunyan, hanno ipotizzato che la città sia stata fondata da [[Tigrane I]], padre di Tigrane il Grande (r. ca. 123&ndash;95 B.C.).<ref>{{cite book

== Storia==

Primary sources first make mention of Tigranakert in the seventh century, stating that there were actually two such cities with the same name in the Armenian province of [[Utik]].<ref name="Hewsen58">Hewsen, ''Armenia'', p. 58.</ref><ref>Hakobyan, Tatul. "[http://www.reporter.am/go/article/2009-09-26-a-city-built-by-king-tigran-the-great-is-unearthed A city built by King Tigran the Great is unearthed]." ''[[Armenian Reporter]]''. September 26, 2009. Retrieved November 15, 2011.</ref> Archaeologists and historians have managed to date the founding of the first one to the 120s-80s B.C., during the reign of either King [[Tigranes I]], or his son and successor King [[Tigranes the Great]].<ref name="Asbarez">"[http://asbarez.com/81783/museum-to-ancient-ruins-of-tigranakert-opens-in-nagorno-karabakh/ Museum at Ancient Ruins of Tigranakert Opens in Nagorno-Karabakh]." ''[[Asbarez]]''. June 8, 2010. Retrieved July 1, 2010.</ref> [[Robert Hewsen]] has questioned the attribution to Tigranes II, as no coins or inscriptions bearing his have yet to be uncovered and the identification of the remains has rested on the local name for the site.<ref>Hewsen, Robert H., "Three New Books about Arts'akh," ''Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies'' 22 (2013), p. 295.</ref> The ruins of the second Tigranakert have yet to be uncovered, although it is believed to have been located in the district of [[Gardman]].<ref name="Hewsen58"/>

After the demise of the first Tigranakert in the early Middle Ages, the name of the city was preserved and used continuously in local geographic lore as Tngrnakert, Tarnakert, Taraniurt, Tarnagiurt, and Tetrakerte.<ref name="Petrosyan"/><ref name="Hewsen58"/>

== Scavi==

Excavations at Tigranakert began in March 2005, when it was first discovered, and are currently ongoing under the directorship of Dr. Hamlet L. Petrosyan of the [[Armenian Academy of Sciences]]' Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography. Archaeologists have uncovered two of the main walls of the city, as well as [[Ancient Greek architecture|Hellenistic]]-style towers and an Armenian [[basilica]] dating to fifth to seventh centuries.<ref name="Asbarez"/> In 2008, the excavation team began to face funding issues, although the authorities of the [[Nagorno-Karabakh Republic]] have promised to allocate 30 million [[Armenian dram|dram]]s to continue further research.<ref name="AN"/>

In June 2010, a museum dedicated to the study and preservation of artifacts unearthed from Tigranakert's ruins was opened on the territory of the former city of [[Agdam|Aghdam]] (which lie in ruins today).<ref name="Asbarez"/>
