## Image Caption
[Gold](https://www.worldhistory.org/gold/) [coin](https://www.worldhistory.org/coinage/) depicting Orontes I of the [Orontid Dynasty](https://www.worldhistory.org/Orontid_Dynasty/), who ruled [Armenia](https://www.worldhistory.org/armenia/) from 401-344 BCE. Coin dates to 362 BCE. (Bibliotheque National France) There is some contradiction as to whether this is actually Orontes I or Orontes II.
