Yervandashat or Eruandashat (Armenian: Երվանդաշատ (reformed); Երուանդաշատ (classical))[a] was an Armenian city and one of the historical capitals of Armenia, serving as the capital city between c. 200 BC and 176 BC under the rule of the Orontid dynasty and at the beginning of the rule of their successors, the Artaxiad dynasty.

However, historian Babken Arakelyan believes that the real reason for the move was that Orontes' rival Artaxias had taken over Armavir.

[1] In the 4th century AD, King Tiridates III the Great (r. c. 298 – 330) granted the city to the house of Kamsarakan.

[1] The city was destroyed by the army of the Sasanian king Shapur II in the 360s AD[4] and its population was deported to Persia.

[4] The archaeological site has not been the subject of major excavation, but some preliminary examination of the fortifications has been done and some remains of palaces of the Urartian and Hellenistic periods have been uncovered.
