| Abstract | | This paper describes the most interesting diseases observed in skeletal samples from two necropolises
found in Shirak and Lori provinces during archaeological excavations in the last decades and corresponded to
Classical/Late Antiquity period (1st century BC – 3rd century AD). The diseases observed were grouped into the following
categories: traumas, infections, nutritional diseases, tumors characteristic for group. A relatively low prevalence of
fractures suggests a relatively low level of interpersonal violence in this community. Palaeopathology allowed
highlighting the spread of some illnesses, many of which can be related to the life and health conditions of the Armenian
population. | | | | Keywords | | Armenia ˗ Classical/Late Antiquity period – Trauma ˗ Dental pathologies – Neoplastic conditions –
