Monument of King Vakhtang Gorgasali - Vakhtang I Gorgasali, from the Chosroid dynasty, was a king of Iberia, also known as Kartli, during the latter half of the 5th century and the early 6th century.
Dating Vakhtang’s reign is challenging. Allied with the Byzantine Empire, he led his people in a prolonged struggle against Sasanian Iranian dominance, which resulted in his defeat and the weakening of the Iberian kingdom. Tradition credits him with reorganizing the Georgian Orthodox Church and founding Tbilisi, Georgia’s modern capital. Ivane Javakhishvili dates Vakhtang’s rule to around 449–502, while Cyril Toumanoff suggests 447–522.
