Characteristics Rome controlled Caucasian Albania only as a Vassal State , but was never able to fully dominate it as a part of the Roman Empire , like a Province as happened with Armenia and the Roman Armenia Roman Province of Armenia . This influence started in the first century before Christ and lasted until around 250 AD. But around 299 AD Albania was again a nominal Vassal State of Roman emperor Diocletianus for a few years more. In these centuries Rome brought Christianity to the Caucasian Albanians, with a western cultural influence that has lasted until contemporary Azerbaijan . Indeed, even if few Azerbaijanis are christians today, the alphabet they use is the Roman alphabet . A second and last influence came from the Eastern Roman empire when emperor Heraclius was able to take control of Caucasian Albania in 627 AD with help from the Gokturks of the Western Turkic Khaganate, in the Third Perso Turkic War .
