No one outside Russia has ever written a comprehensive account of the origins and ancient history of the state of Georgia. This exciting and important book is the first ever complete scholarly work on ancient Georgia, the mythical home of Medea and Prometheus, and historically at the centre of the successive struggles for power by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and later the Byzantine Empire. The author is one of the few western archaeologists to have first-hand knowledge of most of the sites discussed, and the book is illustrated with many exciting new photographs of finds and places. The book will open up this area for the world of scholarship at large for the first time, and is a major contribution to archaeology.

Recensioner i media

not only a first - virtually no one else has tried to construct a complete history of Georgia spanning 550 BC - AD 562 ... This heroic, ground-breaking book is a fine tribute to the cooperation that, almost single-handedly, Braund had brought about between the Georgian and British academic Establishment. Braund, then, has produced a brilliant first.'
Peter Jones, Literary Review. Dec '94

`David Braund's presentation of new Georgian archaeological material is invaluable. ... the great virtue of the book is that Braund looks anew at classical sources for the Caucasus. ... Braund's analysis is the most extensive and sensible yet'
Times Literary Supplement

Religious Studies Review This book is a standard for all the works to follow on the eastern part of the Black Sea during 550 BC to 562CE, and acts as as introduction to Russian and Georgian scholarship.

Greece and Rome Reviews 42 Braund has much which is new to contribute...

The Classical Review written by a British scholar, who has an excellent knowledge of the Russian and Georgian languages - an exceptionally rare combination amongst academics outside Georgia itself

Gocha R. Tsetskhladze, Royal Holloway, University of London, The Classical Review, XLV, 2, '95 remarkable that it should have been written by a British scholar, who has an excellent knowledge of the Russian and Georgian languages - an exceptionally rare combination amongst academics outside Georgia itself ... The book is a beginning for th study of ancient Georgia in modern English language historiography.
