I recently stumbled upon some interesting sketches of
Armenian costumes from the 2nd to 3rd century AD. These sketches by Eugène
Lacoste (from 1877-1878) depict ancient Armenian costumes, for usage in
theaters for the opera about Saint Polyeuctus. Polyeuctus according Christian
tradition was an ancient Roman saint who lived in the early 3rd century AD.
Christian tradition states that he was a wealthy Roman army officer who was
martyred in Armenia, under Valerian. So these sketches illustrate Armenian
costumes from before the Armenian conversion to Christianity (in 301 AD) but
definitely with the Christian culture already present in the region. At the
time Armenia must have been a place of many coexisting religions. From the
Armenian paganism, Roman cults, Persian Zoroastrianism and the growing
Christian population. See the sketches bellow:
