Does the Artashat in the woods? ;')

http://www.armenianhistory.info/artashat.htm

"(Artaxata), city on Araks River in the Ararat valley, founded by Artashes in 166 BC. Strabo and Plutarch described it as a large and beautiful city, terming it as the Armenian Carthage. Until the 5th century, Artashat was the principal political and cultural center of Armenia."

Thanks for the link, instead of installing our network expansion I'm learning more about Armenian history than I ever wanted to.

Hmm. Romans called it an Armenian Carthage? Well, you know what the Romans did to Carthage.
