E12 – Mihrdat and Amazasp – The History of Saqartvelo Georgia
Gamarjoba! Today we will be discussing the reigns of Mihrdat I (58 – 106 AD) and Amazasp I (106 – 116 AD). Mihrdat will face off against Armenian forces in an effort to expand his borders deeper into the borderlands of Armenia, and Amazasp will travel with Emperor Trajan himself! Looking at the Georgian Chronicles, we meet the (sadly fictional) Sumbat Bivritian who faces off against our (also fictional, and taking the place of Mihrdat in the Chronicles) Ruling Duo of Azork and Armazel.
