Tiridates III (spelled Trdat; Armenian: Տրդատ Գ; 250-330) was the king of Arsacid Armenia (287-330) and is also known as Tiridates the Great Տրդատ Մեծ; some scholars incorrectly refer to him as Tiridates IV as a result of the fact that Tiridates I of Armenia reigned twice). In 301 Tiridates proclaimed Christianity as the state religion of Armenia making the Armenian kingdom the first state to embrace Christianity officially.
