Crown of Cilicia

This scarf is a part of our ongoing collection honoring Armenian kings. Levon the Magnificent (Levon II, 1198–1219) was one of the most prominent kings of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, under whom the country experienced remarkable political, economic, and cultural growth. He strengthened state institutions, expanded trade with European states, and oversaw the construction of fortresses, roads, and the flourishing of the royal capital Sis, transforming it into a major political hub of the region.
