This is the first full history of the ancient Georgia ever to be
written outside Georgia itself. It is also an introduction to the
substantial archaeological work that has been carried out in
Georgia in recent decades. The principal purpose of this book is to
open up ancient Georgia for the world of scholarship at large. It
is not only the history of a neglected region, but also a sustained
attempt to inform topics and issues that are more familiar to the
historians of antiquity: myths of the periphery, Caucasian
mountains and their passes, Greek colonization, the Persian,
Athenian, and Selecuid empires, Pompey's conquest of Mithridates'
empire, the development of the Roman frontier in the eastern Black
Sea region, Roman diplomancy in Iberia, the Christianization of
Iberia, Sassanian ambitions in Transcaucasia and Byzantine warfare
there. The author has lived in Georgia for substantial periods
during the last decade: he has made extensive use of scholarship in
Georgian and Russian, and has first-hand knowledge of most of the
sites which he discusses.
