Long before the Early-Christian period, three people, the Syrians, Armenians and Iberians had taken root at the eastern edge of Anatolia on the vast, mountainous territory stretching beyond Cappadocia toward the Caspian Sea and from the main chain, of the Caucasus to the Mesopotamian plain. The imperial frontier in Greater Armenia was thereby shifted east of the Euphrates. In fact, however, the situation in situ was far more complicated than can be understood merely by way of an analysis of the policies and claims of the rival empires. Continuous interchanges were similarly present in the northern sector. The same powerful aristocratic society, based on family control of the land and of hereditary offices and titles, as well as a hereditary monarch, who was but primus inter pares, prevailed in the Iberian lands and in the various Armenias including the southern Satrapies, though not in long urbanized Mesopotamia, irrespective of any political and administrative overlay
