(Summary) The Globalistic process of Romanization and Colchis Romanization was the Globalization process, which meant wide spreading of Roman economical, political and cultural behavior in the provinces of the Empire and in neighboring countries. This process was more rapid in the western provinces then in eastern provinces of the Empire and was depended on different political and economical structures of that part of the world. The 213

location of Caucasus, where the western and eastern civilizations were meeting was very important. The process of Romanization in ancient Georgia had a different, peculiar way. Here the roots of Hellenistic Culture were deep and the culture of European-Roman kind did not arise. The study of archaeological data, written sources and epigraphical data convinces us that the impact of Roman culture in Iberia- Colchis was most visible in economics. From the times of first appearance of Romans in Caucasus we can see some changes, which, first of all are linked with trading. After the end of military actions by Rome in Iberia- Colchis Geopolitical location of Transcaucasus became played an important role in trade. The good examples of this fact are numerous trading roads form the Classical world to the Iranian world, which are well known with the help of archaeological-numismatic finds. During the period of Romanization the internal trade became more intensive, the handcrafting centers were widening, also the big number of foreign coins is found on the sites of this period. The best examples of this process can be seen in Roman forts of the Black Sea littoral. Later, the impact of Roman civilization is seen in other fields (architecture, handicraft, etc) of native population of IberiaColchis. These processes are becoming more intensive from the 2 nd c AD and lasts until the 4th c AD. The process of Romanization is better represented in the towns of Black Sea Littoral and in the Capital of Iberian kingdom Mtskheta.

THE LAND OF COLCHIS AND THE CITY OF PHASIS (Towards a historical-archaelogical study of western Georgia in the Classical period) The land of Colchis, famous throughout the Classical world, from where – according to the celebrated ancient Greek myth – the Argonauts stole the Golden Fleece, was on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, i. e. on the western territory of modern Georgia. The valley of the Rioni, frequently referred to in ancient Greco-Roman sources as the Phasis, lies in central Colchis. According to the archaeological and written sources: Herodotus, Scylax of Caryanda, Hippocrates, Apollonius Rhodius, Strabo, Appian, Flavius Arrian, Marcus Manilius, Procopius, Agathias and others, as well as by its physico-geographic environment, the Rioni (Phasis) valley must have occupied an economically developed position. The Rioni rises from the mountain glacier Phasis on the south slope of the Caucasus Range. Up to Kutaisi the Rioni is a turbulent mountain stream. Leaving Kutaisi, the Rioni flows slowly in the Kolkhian plain. By its geographic position the Rioni constituted a convenient trade-and-transit waterway. Evidence on the use of this river as a commercial waterway is mainly extant in the works of Strabo and Pliny. Strabo describes the waterways of the Rioni and the Qvirila (Phasis): “It is (Phasis) navigated as far as Sarapana, a fortress capable of admitting the population even of a city. From here people go by land to the river Cyrus in four days by a wagonroad.”(Strabo, XI, II, 17). The continuation of the waterway is described by Strabo thus: “And he further says that it is navigable and that large quantities of Indian wares are brought down on it to the Hyrcanian sea, and thence on that sea are transported to Albania and brought down on the Cyrus river and through the region that comes next after it to the Euxine.” (Strabo, XI, II, 3) (The Loeb Classical Library, London, 1957). It is thus quite clear that Strabo describes the trade route running from India to the Black Sea through the rivers Cyrus and Phasis. Pliny also describes the same route [Latyshev,1904: 178].

215

The fact is worthy of attention that it is along this route that settlements of the Classical and early medieval periods were situated, the archaeological study of which yielded items of foreign manufacture (pottery, adornments, metal and glass ware). Such settlements at the Rioni river are attested: in Kutaisi; Patriketi-Vartsikhe [Japaridze, V. 1977: 43-50]; Vani [Lordkipanidze, O. 1977: 159-175]; Tsikhesulori [Mitsishvili, M. 1977: 32-47]; Shuamta [Gamkrelidze, G. 1982: 49], Dablagomi [Tolordava, V. 1977: 67-78]; Dapnari [Kighuradze, N. 1976]; Natekhebi (Lake Paliastomi) [Gamkrelidze, G. 1992: 30-48; Gamkrelidze, 1987: 98], and others, with adjoining territory (Pl. I). Hippocrates supplies interesting information about the natural data of the Phasis-Rioni basin in his treatise “On Air, Waters and Places”, in which he speaks of the influence exerted by the climatic and physical-geographic conditions of the place and its population. It is believed that Hippocrates had visited Colchis and that his reports are the result of immediate observations [Qaukhchishvili, T. 1965: 20]. His evidence appears to deal with the lower and partly middle course of the Rioni. But some data extend to the entire basin. For example, when it concerns marshes and numerous canals the territory in the lower course must be implied: warm weather and frequent rainfalls could not have been characteristic of a small area, for they were the same almost all over Colchis. Hence it may be assumed that the region under study and especially its adjoining elevations were convenient places for farming, and accordingly for settlement. As to forests and structures built of planed wooden beams and apparently roofed with reeds, their traces have been found today too on elevations along the Rioni, where they could by no means have been erected on water. This circumstance points to the fact that the author was familiar only with the lower, marshy course of the Rioni (Phasis), which has remained the same to the present day. The question arises as to what induces people to live in houses built on marshland. The local residents were probably harassed by their neighbours; hence they moved to the lower course of the Rioni-Phasis and began to build their dwellings on the marsh, for such structures were almost inaccessible. At many places along the Rioni remains of plaster and beams are attested, which – with the aid of archaeological material – are dated to the 4th c. BC. The evidence of Hippocrates also relates to the same period. 216

A piece of information of our present interest is contained in Xenophon’s Anabasis (see Anabasis V, 6, 36). Here the land of the Phasianoi implies the Valley of the Rioni (Phasis). The region they intended to conquer could not have been poor at that time, Apollonius Rhodius, a 3 rd-century BC author, writes about the land of Aea (Aia)-Colchis-Phasis in his poem the Argonautica (III, 215). The poem is the last verse version of the myth. Apollonius Rhodius describes the city of Kutaisi in the middle course of the Rioni. According to Strabo’s Geography (XI, 11; II, 17), Colchis is notable for its fruits and all that is needed for shipbuilding. The country produces much timber, floating it down the rivers. The inhabitants manufacture much linen and resin. Interesting evidence on the Phasis valley is supplied by Pomponius Mela (1st century) in: “inde is locus est ubi finem ductus a Bosphoro tractus accipit, atque inde se in sinu adverse litoris flexus adtollens angustissimum Ponti facit angulum. hic sunt Colchi, huc Phasis erumpit, hic eodem nomine quo amnis est a Themistagora Milesio deductum oppidum, . . .” (Pomponii Melae, Chorographia. . ., I, 108). More diverse evidence on the Phasis valley is preserved in the work of Pliny the Elder’s “Natural History”. It has been ascertained that in describing Colchis he had recourse to various sources. He reports on towns lying along the course of the Rioni; the concrete evidence on them, adduced by him, is of entirely real historical-geographic character. Pliny’s evidence on the navigability of the Rioni-Phasis attracts special attention. He (Pliny, VI, II) points out that the Phasis is navigable to the mouth of the Surium river (the name resembles the Sulori river). Special interest attaches to Arrian’s work: Periplus Euxini (2nd century). He was the Governor of Cappadocia in 131; he undertook a voyage along the Black Sea coast to ensure the security of the borders. Arrian personally inspected the strongholds existing there, informing the Emperor Hadrian in an official report on the voyage. Particularly interesting in Arrian’s Periplus is his detailed description of the city at the mouth of the Phasis (Arrian, 9, 10). A list of the towns of the Rioni valley is given by the Alexandrian scholar Ptolemy (2nd cent.) in his treatise “Geographical Guide” (Book V, Ch. 9). In this work he enumerates towns and villages; the towns: Mechles, Media, Saraca, Surium, Zadrida, Aea ( Aia); the rivers: Phasis, Hyppus, Cyaneus, 217

Harius. Valuable evidence is supplied by Dion Cassius in his work “Roman History” (XXXVII, 3). The fortification works along the Phasis are mentioned by the Byzantine historian Zosymus in his “History” [Qaukhchishvili, S. 1961: 269] but, unfortunately, he does not list them, nor point to their location. Much trustworthy written evidence is found in the work of 6 th century Byzantine writer Procopius of Caesarea (BG VIII, 14, 17; BP, II, 29; Agathias, II, 19, 22; III, 6, 7, 19, 28; IV, 9, 13). According to Agathias Scholasticus, during the war in the 6th century the Byzantine navy, using the Rioni, supported her troops against Iran. To this end, at the confluence of the Tekhuri with the Phasis a strategic beachhead was built, where light ships were usually anchored (Agathias, II, 23). Of the Georgian sources special interest with respect to the region under study is evoked by “The Lives of the Georgian Kings and Their Forefathers and Descendants”, ascribed to Leonti Mroveli. The source describes the history of Georgia from ancient times. The chronicle mentions King Parnavaz of Kartli (Iberia), who confirmed Prince Kuji as ruler of lands in Colchis (for details see: [Gamkrelidze, G. 1985: 86-97]). According to historical sources, the Rioni (Phasis) was the main navigable river of Colchis (Western Georgia). Owing to the mass felling of forests in the 19th-20th centuries, the water level of the Rioni lowered drastically, having a negative effect on the navigation in the region. The Rioni (Phasis) lows in the Kolkhian Lowland, between the foothills of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus. The Kolkhian Lowland has the form of a triangle adjoining the sea with its base. In the east it reaches the vicinity of the confluence of the Qvirila. In terms of its geographical environment the Kolkhian Lowland and the foothills surrounding it constitute a unique natural region, allowing setting up intensive agricultural production. The local climate enables cultivation of a wide range of high-yielding crops. The Kolkhian lowland is characterized by a humid subtropical climate. The length of the vegetation period allows to growing several harvests annually. In the western, depressed part of the lowland, there are swampy soils, and in the eastern part 218

podzol soils. In terms of agro productive indices these soils are more favourable. Such soils are successfully used to plant vineyards. At settlements of the Early Bronze Age of the Kolkhian Lowland (pl. II) fruits of cultivated plants have been found â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many-rowed barley, unbearded wheat (type of common), millet, foxtail millet, spelt, etc. Written sources referred to the cultivation in Colchis of barley, wheat, chestnut, hazelnut, grapes, apples, vegetables, ets; exported from Colchis were: timber, honey, flax, etc. A comparison of the evidence of Greek authors with the specificities of the modern Kolkhian Lowland shows that the nature of this region has not suffered substantial changes over the past 2500 years, barring the reduction of the areas of forest tracts [Janelidze, Ch. 1980: 150]. The upper reaches of the Rioni are rich in various minerals, where from early times copper was mined, having played a leading role in the development of copper and bronze metallurgy. Tin, gold, cornelian, antimonite and rock crystal were mined here. Such is the geographic environment of the Rioni valley that exerted cardinal influence on the course of the history of ancient Colchis. The archaeological material, discovered in Rioni valley, attests also to the important place held by the cited region in the period under study in the economic life of Colchis. Exploratory archaeological work was carried out on the Dateshidze-Gabashvili hill in Kutaisi; a cultural layer of the Early Iron Age and traces of iron-smelting manufacture were brought to light. A cultural layer was also found here; Colchian pottery of the 4 th-5th cent. BC. is represented by fragments of economic and household utensils. Fragments of black-gloss Attic pottery came to light in the same layer. There also is much plaster - scorched clay plastering with imprints of wood. On the south slope of the same hill a dense layer of scorched plastering was uncovered. Fragments of scorched beams also came to light here. The area of the excavations totals 550 sq. m.; basins, bowls, mugs, etc were found; the pottery is largely dated to the 6th-5th cent. BC [Kvirkvelia, G. 1978: 62]. According to the data on archaeological excavations on the Gabashvili, Dateshidze and Ukimerioni hills in Kutaisi, an urban-type settlement of the 6th5th cent. BC was found to be concentrated. An area of approximately 25 ha was enclosed with defensive walls; towers and other defensive works had been 219

constructed. The high level of the sanitary condition of the city-stronghold is attested by the ruins of two bathhouses with heating units whitewashed with hydraulic solution. Cultural layers of the 7 th-1st cent. BC were discovered on the Parnali hill in v. Chognari, in the environs of Kutaisi. Among items of the 6th cent. BC note should be made of a miniature sculptured representation of a ram, fragments of black-gloss Attic pottery of the 5th cent. BC; there is much plaster with imprints of wood, handles of a Thasian amphora of the 3 rd cent. BC, bronze bracelets with concave back and fragments of cups with turned in lips. In v. Chognari (on the Barona hillock, cultural layers of the 7 th-1st cent. BC were brought to light (the material is preserved in the archaeological funds (reserves) of the Kutaisi Historical Museum). In the middle course of the Rioni, settlement-hills are found also in v. Partskhanaqanevi – on Sabrialo, Kirinebi and Shroshanebi hillocks. Similar settlements are attested at Kopitnari, Kveda-Metekhi and Kvitiri. These sites have yielded objects of the 7th-2nd cent. BC and plaster with imprints of wood. In Kutaisi and its adjoining territory jar burials have come to light at Tsatskhvebisubani (Kutaisi), as well as in the villages: Partskhanaqanevi, Kveda-Meskheti, Maghlaki, Kvitiri, Mukhiani, Ukaneti, Odilauri and Banoji. The grave goods brought to light are uniform: pyriform jugs, bowls with inturned lips, bronze bracelets adorned at the ends with a representation of a snake’s head, bronze fingerings, cornelian beads. These jar burials are dated largely to the 3rd cent. BC. Up to eleven archaeological hoards of the Bronze and Early Iron periods have been revealed. As is evident, on the basis of the above-named settlements, an urban-type settlement appears in Kutaisi in the 6th-4th centuries. The geographical designation of Kutaisi is first mentioned in the work Alexandra by Lycophron of Chalcis, a Greek poet of the 3rd cent. BC. Kutaisi is mentioned also by Vallimachus of Cyrene (3rd cent. BC). Evidence on “Kutaisi” is found in the Argonautica of Apollonius of Rhodes (3rd cent. BC). Here mention is made of “Kutaisi”, i. e. Aea (Aia). Procopius (BG,VIII,14) identified the Ky(u)taya of Greek written sources with his contemporary fortress “Kotatisi” on the bank of the Rioni. On the basis of archaeological material and written sources the view 220

has become established in the specialist literature on the identity of Ky(u)tayaKotatisi-Kutaisi. The village of Vartsikhe lies in the course of the Rioni. Materials of the Classical and medieval periods are attested. Special interest in Vartsikhe undoubtedly attaches to the remains of an early-medieval city-fortress, known in Byzantine written sources under the name of Rhodopolis (Procopius, BG, VII (IV); Agathias, IV, 15). The remains of an ancient fortress are attested on the promontory at the confluence of the Rioni and the Khanistsqali. The aboveground wall proved to date to the period of the late Middle Ages, while the walls dating from the early Middle Ages are buried underground. Split-stone, cobblestones, lime mortar, bricks and tiles were used as construction material. The archaeological material, brought to light at Vartsikhe, is largely represented by pottery and glass and iron wares. The pottery includes fragments of household, table-ware and kitchen ware. Remains of imported pottery have also been discovered. Study of adjacent territories is attached major attention in ascertaining the genesis of the settlements of the city-fortress of Vartsikhe. Here remains of Classical period settlements have been brought to light – evidenced particularly intensively two hundred metres to the south of the city, on Giorgobiani hill. Attested here are fragments of stone walls built in dry masonry and fragments of plaster; a beam structure was apparently erected on this. The remains of the structure are dated – with the aid of the pottery – to the pre-Hellenistic period. Remains of such settlements are noted on the territory around the Giorgobiani hill. Thus, the environs of Vartsikhe were settled already in the Classical period, while by the early medieval period the settlement is concentrated within the city-fortress. Of the archaeological sites, uncovered in the Rioni valley, the ancient city site of Vani boasts the longest history of study. It lies on the left bank of the Rioni, in the river Sulori valley, on the hill Akhvledianis-gora. Excavations on this hill have been under way for a long time. Vast material has accumulated and proceedings have been published (for the bibliography, see the collected papers “Vani”). In the past, the rise of an urban-type settlement on the Akhvledianis-gora hill was apparently facilitated by the ancient settlements 221

whose remains have been discovered in large numbers at Vani and its environs. The Akhvledianis-gora hill in the 5th-4th cent. BC was evidently a place of residence of the local Colchian nobility. Various crafts also concentrated here. Concentration of handicrafts at definite centres and, accordingly, the emergence of a market, constitutes one of the principal features of the urbanization of society [Lordkipanidze, O. 1977:19]. The last stage of the existence of Vani involved the entire Akhvledianisgora hill, fortified with thick walls and steep slopes. The thickness of the defensive wall reaches almost three metres, and it is built of rectangular cut stones of large sizes. The ruins of the city gate have survived on the northern side of the former city site. Remains of a cultic structure are found here. At the distance of one hundred metres a fairly large complex of structures of cultic purpose has come to light. The archaeological material of the 3 rd-1st cent. BC, found on Akhvlediani-gora, attests to the fact that at that time use was made at Vani of the achievements of Hellenistic engineering. Westward of the city site of Vani, approximately at the distance of one kilometre, in the village of Zedatsikhe Sulori, ruins of a fortress have survived on the top of the mountain. The mountain is protected by natural steep slopes, and the road linking it with Vani leads to it from the south-east. Excavations inside the fortress revealed cultural layers of Early Medieval and Hellenistic periods. Interesting material came to light –remains of architectural details: fragments of a cornice, a fragment of a column with cannelures, etc. The remains of a wall of the Hellenistic period in the fortress of v. Zedatsikhe Sulori, as well as the architectural details and pottery point to the existence here of a settlement in Hellenistic times as well. It undoubtedly had some connection with the city of Vani, and was possibly destroyed together with it [Mitsishvili, M.1977]. Within 8 km of Vani, in v. Mtisdziri, remains of ancient settlements are traceable on the hills “Adeishvilisgora”, “Naktsevigora”, “Nabambevisgora”, and on the territory contained between these. In this locality archaeological material of the Classical period and early medieval periods was attested. At Mtisdziri, the defensive structure merits special attention: clay, wood and stones were the basic construction material in erecting the structure. The 222

building is rectangular in shape, with two facilities: 26.88m2 and 13.44m2. The socle is 2.60 m wide. We may be dealing here with a variety of wooden structures mentioned in the works of Xenophon and Vitruvius. At Mtsidziri, along with local pottery, a small quantity of imported ceramic ware was discovered (Chian, Attic, Mendean, Sinopean). The archaeological remains of Mtisdziri are closely related to synchronous remains of entire Colchis. By its geographical location Mtisdziri held a strategically advantageous place. In the Early Classical and Hellenistic periods Mtisdziri represented a fortified point within the defensive system of the city of Vani and its environs [Gamkrelidze, G. 1982]. Along the course of the Rioni, within 2 km of Mtisdziri, lies the village of Dablagomi, situated on hillocks at the bank of the Rioni. To date the inner territory as well as the adjoining hills: Natsikhvari, Nasakirevi and Nasaqdrevi have been studied. Almost over the entire area of Dablagomi fragments of plaster have been found, some bearing imprints of wood. The remains of the structure are preserved comparatively better on the Nasaqdrevi hill. The upper layer dates from the 7th-5th cent. BC. At Dablagomi the large number of jar burials evokes special interest. They are arranged on the slopes of the hillocks of Nasakirevi and Natsikhvari. At Dablagomi, on the west slope of the Natsikhvari hill, a rich burial, covered with a tile, came to light. Its study revealed that it dates from the 3rd cent. BC [Tolordava, V. 1977: 48-54, 78]. Remains of a settlement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; typologically and structurally similar to those of Dablagomi â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were discovered within the distance of one kilometre, at v. Dapnari; the chronological limits: 4th-3rd cent. BC. Apart from this hill, archaeological remains are in evidence on the Chais-gora and Tsqvetili hills. Cultural layers of a settlement were investigated on this territory. The dwellings appear to have been built on the terraces of the hills. Large quantities of plaster with imprints of wood and charred beams were brought to light on these terraces. On the Chais-gora hill the remains of a furnace for smelting iron were found [Kighuradze, N. 1976]. Remains of a settlement resembling Mtisdziri, Dablagomi and Dapnari have been discovered at Sajavakho, near Dapnari. Colchian pottery of the 6 th223

2nd cent. BC has come to light here. Excavattions at Sajavakho have so far not been carried out. It is in the 6th-4th c.c. B.C. that a fairly stable and consolidated archaeological culture is evidenced on the territory of modern West Georgia, i.e. ancient Colchis. The following are the most typical features of Colchian culture in the 6th-4th c.c. B.C. - A system of settlements situated on natural hillocks or artificial mounds, surrounded by one or two ditches; the citadels fortified with a wooden paling built on the edges of an artificial defensive ditch are also evidenced. Also, there is a specific custom of burying of the common people. There is found peculiar artifacts - pottery: Pithoi with hatched surface; jugs, with the shape of to conuses attached by bottom; basins with flat bottom and slanting walls. Also unique goldsmithery - diadems with a torque and rhombic plaques, earrings and specific rings, openwork or bi-conic pendants, etc. During the excavations there is witness wide range of silver coins of various face-values, known in the scientific literature under the name of Colchian coins or Kolkhuri-tetri. In West Georgia archaeological studies have shown the predominance of wooden architecture throughout Colchis from the end of the 2rd millennium B.C. to the 4th c. B.C. inclusive. Such are the houses at the Namarnu, Anaklia, Simagre, Nosiri, Pichori settlements and etc. Ancient Greek literature has preserved evidence on the individual branches of Colchian manufacture. The manufacture was the basis of the economic and political power of Colchis. The broad scale of iron manufacture is directly attested by the exceptionally numerous finds of most diverse objects used in everyday economic life and in war â&#x20AC;&#x201C; axes, hoes, knives, ploughshares, daggers, sickles, spears, blades and many others. In West Georgia 6 th-4th c.c. B.C. during the existence of a major Colchian political entity, there is a peculiar structure of Colchian settlements, also there are type of burial sites and religious cults and manufactures (iron metallurgy and goldsmithery) characteristic for only Colchian culture. All the elements of material culture just listed above, clearly fits in a well-defined territorial limits corresponding to the boundaries within which ancient Colchis was placed in the geographical conception of the ancient Greeks [Lordkipanidze,O.1979]. 224

On the basis of the above-cited archaeological and written sources, as well as geographical data, it may be presumed that the Rioni valley was densely populated in the period under study. Judging by the archaeological material discovered in the Rioni valley, the level of economic development of the local population was high. In the period under study this was one of the developed regions in Colchis, forming a definite integral whole from the economic and geographic viewpoints. However, its political status differed at various times. The archaeological remains, uncovered in the Rioni valley, are closely linked with synchronous remains of entire Colchis, forming an organic part of this common archaeological culture. In the period under discussion life in the Rioni valley obviously continued uninterruptedly, though characterized by varying intensity. By its natural conditions and geographic position the Rioni valley held an advantageous place in terms of communications and strategy. The natural relief was used successfully for building living and defensive structures. In building fortified dwelling structures use was primarily made of beams, clay and occasionally stones. Archaeological investigation has shown that log structures with clay plastering were characteristically practised in the Rioni valley, as well as in entire Colchis. In them – in terms of design and material – a definite genetic link is observable with the preceding periods of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages (see: [Apakidze, D. 1991:7-75]). The geographical environment, the geopolitical situation and economic activity created the preconditions for the rise on the territory of Western Georgia (with its centre in the Rioni valley) of the Colchian state, towards the end of the 6th cent. BC. According to the archaeological data of the middle course of the Rioni River, from the end of the 4th cent.BC qualitatively new elements coexist with ancient ones. The changes concern the burial custom (jar burials). In the subsequent centuries a new construction material – tile – appears here, pottery suffers considerable typological changes. From the 3rd cent. BC buffer “city-states” – Dioskurias- Sukhumi, Gyenos- Ochamchire, Phasis-Poti and Kobuleti-Pichvnari – develop between Classical countries and inner Colchis in the Colchian Black Sea littoral, while the hinterland Colchis is subjected to the political and economic influence of 225

the Iberian Kingdom. The skeptuchies: Sairkhe, Kutaisi and Vani were under this influence (according to Strabo, XI, II, 18). Mithridates VI Eupator, King of Pontus, appeared on the political horizon from the end of the 2nd cent. BC, laying his hand on the coastal cities. The policy of the Iberian kingdom, under whose influence inner Colchis was, was probably changeable with respect to the Pontic kingdom, as evidenced by Georgian written sources and the recent archaeological materials (for details, see: [Gamkrelidze, G. 1985: 86-97; Gamkrelidze, G. 1989: 59-69]. Following the defeat of Mithridates VI, Colchis was invaded by Pompey, appointing Aristarchus as ruler of the country. Colchis was divided into skeptuchies (see Strabo); it was not turned into a Roman province. Historical sources say nothing about Pompey leaving part of his troops in Colchis. In the strategic respect western Colchis was of special significance for Rome. Successful struggle for dominance in the Northern Black Sea region and in the East was impossible without complete influence on the Black Sea littoral of Colchis. One of most interesting and important towns of Colchis was Phasis and is generally localized somewhere near the present day Poti town and adjacent to it territories (pl. III). Study of history of Phasis town has been continuing for about a century and a half but scantiness of written records and archaeological evidences makes it almost impossible to th row a light on certain problems connected with it. Phasisi town is mentioned by the following authors: Pseudo Skylax (4th c. BC), Asia, 81. Aristotle, Fragment 46, Plato “Phedon” 109(b), Heraklides Lembos, “Phasians’ Politia” 18, Hippocrates, “About Airs, Waters and Men” 15, Theocritus, “Idyle” 13.24, Strabo, “Geography” 11. 2t.16.17. 3t.4.

Archangelo Lamberti “Description of Samegrelo Region” [Lamberti, A. 1938: 172]. J. Chardin “Journey in Persia and Other Oriental Countries”(258) etc. An important and the oldest information about Phasis belongs to Pseudo-Scylax (periplus “Asia”81). The most important information about the localization of Phasis town belongs to Strabo (b etween the turn of 1 st BC – 1 st AD): “There is a town of the same name at the Phasis river. It is Colchians’ trading post surrounded with the river (Rioni), a lake (Paliastomi) and the Sea” (Strabo “Geography” 11.2.17). It is fairly apparent that the description completely coincides with the present day locality of Poti town. Noteworthy information belongs to a high-ranking Roman official Flavius Arrian (2 nd century) to whom belongs an inspective report “The Black Sea Periplus”. F. Arrian wrote: “The fortress (Phasis) itself which accommodates four hundreds of best warriors seemed to me almost inaccessible. As to the security of the area it is very convenient for visitors. The town walls are encircled with wide double moats. There were clay walls with timber towers on them some time before but now both of them the walls and the towers are built of baked bricks. Their foundations are quite firm and there are battering machines on the walls. In whole everything is arranged so that nobody is able to come nearer and siege the garrison stationed there. The harbor is safe for ships and so are the adjacent territories settled with retired military men and merchants.” (Arrian “Periplus …”9). 227

A 4 th -century BC silver bowl inscribed in Greek (about the inscription see below) was found at Phasis which is quite frequently mentioned in Greco – Roman and Byzantine written records but the information is rather controversial because in most cases the data are taken from one and the same source. According to the traditional simplified scheme of the written records Phasis was founded at the area, anciently settled by Kartvelian (Georgian) population, by Ionian Milesians in order to contact with the locals through a trading postemporium [Inadze, M. 1982:119-124]. According to archaeological evidences Phasis has supposedly left far behind all the other Late Bronze – Early Iron period settlements such as: Namarnu, Dziguri, Siriachkoni, Okhodje, Nandevu, Sagvichio (Zurgani, Konsha), Nagmipidji, Chaladidi (Zurga, Sabazho, Chkhari), Guripuli, Naokhvamu (Reka village), Ergeta etc. [see Djibladze, L. 2001, 34- 38 and the map], adjacent to Poti and Paliastomi because it occupied a more convenient area from communication point of view (the Rioni – Phasisi river delta) and it appeared easier to become an urban centre. Some scholars suppose that a celebrated scientist Hippocrates had himself visited the neighboring areas of the Phasisi river [Kaukhchishvili, T. 1965: 8] and included some very important pieces of information about the journey in the adjacent territories of Poti – Paliastomi in his work “About Airs, Waters and Places:” “… I tell you about people who live in Phasis;…”.“… People have dwellings built in swamps. They are built of timber and rush. People walk little. They sail up and down to town (probably to Phasis) or to emporium in their boats because there are many channels there” (Hippocrates, About Airs …15). The passage shows that people living in down stream of the Rioni – Phasisi river went to a special trading post – Phasis emporium. Hippocrates as if stresses the fact that in the area within the Phasisi river delta (i f it is Phasis town) there is the locals’ trading post and not a Greek type town – polis. Normally concentration of trading at special areas points to the presence of a protourban centre. It seems quite possible that the goods were even distributed from the area after Greeks come there (e.g. the Antique period 228

imported pieces found at the fortress and the settlements lying along the Rioni river) which implies the birth of more or less permanently functioning market and this in its turn is one of the princip al characteristic feature of an urban settlement. It is quite possible that a protourban centre had already existed at the estuary of the river Phasisi when Greeks first came to the area (let’s recall to our mind the Late Bronze – Early Iron period settlements), and perceived it as a town and a trading post (emporium). Greeks had come into contact with the trading settlement and in the course of time there emerged an area inhabited with them. The main reason for the contacts with the natives was either export, or local raw materials instead of imported luxury goods (fine pottery, adornments, metal ware, aromatic ointments etc) which is perfectly borne out by written records and illustrated by the archaeological evidences dating from the period after the 5th century BC. Thus coastal emporii were mutually convenient for both the locals and the foreigners. In the course of time Greek colonies established at Phasisi underwent symbiosis and transformation in the result of the contacts with the natives which in its turn were determined with the local biological, geographic and social habitats [Gamkrelidze, G. 1993:3–45]. Phasis gradually transformed into a buffer, ethnically mixed polis type town with probable rural areas around it after disintegration of the Colchis kingdom in the 3 rd century BC. In this connection there is Heraklides’(2 ndcentury BC) very important information about Phasis Politia which implies the presence of certain statehood there [Gamkrelidze, 1993:46–87]. Another information belongs to a considerably later period (5 th century) anonymous author who mentions the Caucasian Iberians in the context with Phasis in his “Periplus” and goes on: “There is a Hellenic town, so called Phasis, founded by Milesians at the mouth of the river, on the left bank of the Phasis (river) and as it is said there come together people speaking 60 different languages among which there are even Indians and Bactrians” (Arrian, Anonymous author, 3). 229

But these somehow summary written records probably concern to the period after the 3rd century BC. A so called Great Greek colonization of the 8th – 7th centuries BC did not touch Phasis town. The archaeologically traced settlements (see the list above) at the lower stream of the Rioni – Phasisi river clearly testify to this fact. There are not found any imported pieces belonging to the period of “colonization”. As to the 6th – 5th centuries BC, the import is very little – about hundred pieces of pot shards. This is why it is early and absolutely groundless to speak about some kind of intensive Greek “colonization”. As to the written records, they enable me to suppose the presence of only a small Greek trading settlement (something like an emporium) at or within Phasis town, or in the Rioni river delta in the 5th century BC, for instance, something like a Genoese factory existing at Poti – Phasis in the 14 th – 15 th centuries. It is a very important fact that there are not observed any traces of great changes anywhere in Colchis in archaeological culture (pottery, metallurgy, architecture, ideology, burial rites etc.) during the 8 th –6 th and even the 4 th centuries BC. The natives kept living traditionally at the same territory and there is not seen any sign of Greek influence in their everyday terms. In spite of the fact that the locality of ancient Phasis is in this or that way fixed by the Antique period written records (see Strabo, Arrian), the problem remains still unsolved because the town of the Classical and Hellenistic periods is not archaeologically traced yet though there are found the remains of the Early Byzantine period Phasis (see b elow) [Gamkrelidze, G. 1987: 97–117; Gamkrelidze, G. 2002:101]. Now I want to offer twelve different points of view about the localization of Phasis town. 1. Dubois de Montpereux considered that the Roman period Phasis lay between Chaladidi village and Poti town, namely, in the south of the latter (present day airport) he had found remains of a fortress and thought that it was Arrian’s Phasis [Montpereux, F. D. 1839: 63 –80]. 2. F. Brun thought that Phasis town was in the south – east section of lake Paliastomi [Brun, F. 1880:250]. 230

3. N. Shafranov thought that Phasis was situated at the south side of lake Paliastomi, at the estuary of the Supsa river [Shafranov, N. 1880:3]. 4. According to L. Elnitskii Phasis was at the left bank of the Rioni river estuary, approximately at the area of the present day sea port [Elnitskii, L. 1938: 319]. 5. M. Berdznishvili thought that Phasis lay at the left bank of the Rioni river, near Patara (small) Poti. As to the Phasisi of Arrian’s times he agrees with Dubois de Montpereux [Berdznishvili, M. 1942: 19 – 20]. 6. B. Kuftin considered that Arrian’s Phasis lay at the estuary of lake Paliastomi, at the Pichori river banks [Kuftin, K. 1950, 116]. 7. According to N. Khoshtaria the ancient and the Roman – Byzantine period Phasisi was situated at the area of the modern Poti town. 8. N. Lomouri agrees with Dubois de Montpereux but thinks that it not the Phasis mentioned by Arrian, but it is the Phasis of Agathias times (6 th century AD). 9. G. Grigolia thinks that Phasis should be searched for at the east side of lake Paliastomi where the Pichori river flows into the lake [Grigolia, G. 1973: 54]. 10. A palaeogeographer Dj. Djanelidze considers that Phasis town should be searched for along the Rioni river, in 6 km distance from the sea, at the territory around Patara (small) Poti and Chaladidi vil lage [Djanelidze, Dj. 1973: 5 –16]. 11. Ot. Lordkipanidze and T. Mikeladze had coordinated all the existing information gleaned from the written sources and archaeological evidences and came to a conclusion that different period towns known under name of Phasis should be explored through the researches of those archaeological sites which are lying at the estuary of the Rioni river, at the territory among Kvemo (lower) Chaladidi and coastal Grigoleti and Kulevi villages [Lordkipanidze,O. Mikeladze,T. 1973: 33]. 12. The next opinion belongs to me. I think that the 3 rd–7 th century Phasis is the same as “Natekhebi” settlement found in the south part of Poti town, in the west section of lake Paliastomi. I suppose that a certain part of Phasis town among Kulevi, the Rioni, Pichori and Supsa rivers 231

was often covered with water (or appeared in a swamp of peats) in the result of local geomorphologic changes and this is why the town was dislocated from one place to another at different times but so that it remained within the confines of the area just mentioned [Gamkrelidze,G. 1987: 97 –117; Gamkrelidze,G. 2002:101]. Phasis town always was one of the most important transit points of sea and river ways or land routs. Gold, iron, timber, flax, flax oil, honey, wine and later oil etc was taken abroad through the town port. The name of a bird “pheasant” so common in European languages is derived from “Phasis” and quantites of “Phasian birds” were taken to foreign countries from these areas. Importance of Phasis as a transit and trading town increased greatly in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. A Roman commander Pompey while leaving Iberia (Caucasian) met the navy commander Servilius at Phasis. Servilius’s fleet controlled the town from the sea. Gradual increase of Roman influence over the eastern Black Sea lands resulted in stationing of their garrison at Phasis. Emperor Hadrian sent Flavius Arrian to Phasis in 134. He had inspected the readiness of the garrison, all the fortification systems and wrote an appropriate description. A Latin stamp deserves a special interest from this point of view. It probably belonged to the garrison stationed at Phasis [Shpaidel, M. 1985: 134 – 140]. There is a mention of Phasis castellum during the reign of Emperor Constantine I. A high school of rhetoric’s functioned at Phasis in the 4th century. Phasis belonged to Lazika (a new Colchis kingdom) in the 4th century. One of the crucial battles between Byzantine and Iran took place at Phasis in 542 – 562 when Byzantine – Lazika united troops defeated Iranians. There was an episcopate subject to Constantinople in the 6th – 8th centuries at Phasis. Phasian bishop Theodore’s signature is on the resolution of the Ecumenical Counsel that took place in 553. One more Phasian bishop Kviros became Alexandrian Patriarch. A bit later there Phasis was the residence of Lazikan Metropolitan. A Genoese trading station functioned at Phasis in the 14th – 15th centuries (see the previously cited written records). 232

Archaeological researches at Poti – Phasis and adjacent territories began long ago. E. Dubois de Montpereux had found remains of a fortress in the east of Poti (present day airdrome) at the site “Nadjikhuri” in 1834 and considered that it was the Phasis mentioned by Arrian. He even made a drawing of the fortress. N. Khoshtaria made surface surveys of Poti adjacencies in 1953. A team of Poti archaeological expedition of Iv. Djavakhishvili Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography investigated the neighborhoods of the town. There were made geologic boring in 1961 – 5. Later the same expedition explored Nadjikhuri site in 1969. One more expedition (director T. Mikeladze) studied archaeological problems of Phasis in 1971 – 80. Beginning from 1985 the Centre for Archaeological Sciences (Academy of Sciences of Georgia) continued expeditions at Poti. This time the Black Sea hydro archaeological expedition found the remains of a settlement dating from the 3 rd – 7 th centuries in lake Paliastomi. The oldest artifacts have been found at Natekhebi site, in the west part of Lake Paliastomi, within clay and peats deposits. This is a profiled ring-base of a black-slip Attic container dating from the 4 th century BC and an underside of Rhodos amphora dating from the 3rd century BC. A pair of Colchian Tetri – a 2nd type didrachm and several smaller nominals (displayed at the State Museum) dating from the 5 th century BC were found at a neighboring area of Poti town (more precise topography is absent). Pot – shards identical of Sinopean pottery and dating from the 2 nd – 1 st centuries BC were found at the depth of 6 m while boring the soil at the crossroads of Pirveli Maisi and Kavkasia streets. A 4 th century BC Sinopean and Heraclea Pontica amphorae were found in the sea at Maltakva and the Supsa River. Traces of a settlement were uncovered near Poti at Kvemo (lower) Chaladidi village (right bank of the Rioni river, 1.5 km northwards) roadside in N. Kipiani’s farm-yard. The hill occupied 1800m2 . It consisted of following layers: clay and sand mixture, yellowish clayey soil, remains of burnt structure – plastering and pieces of timber. Middle and lower layers are dating from the Late Bronze – Early Iron periods. 233

The settlement yielded pots, basins, and bowls decorated with characteristic handles and bosses on them, mainly blackish in color. Their bodies are decorated with slanting incisions of wavy, rhomb – like ornaments. There was also found a mould, a quern, a spindle-whorl, flint sickle bushes etc. Archaeological excavations were carried out at Kvemo (lower) Chaladidi village, near “Sabazho” (customs) site, in A. Beridze’s farm – yard. Unearthed settlements yielded burnt pieces of timber and plastering, pottery, a mould and bellows of a melting furnace [Mikeladze, T. 1978: 33 –40]. Another settlement “Simagre”, supposedly a rural area of Phasis town, was found in the east part of Sakorkio village. The plot belongs to P. Patsia. It is on the left bank of the Rioni river. The hill occupies an area of 3 300 m 2 and only 200 m 2 has been excavated. A lower layer (depth 60 cm) yielded timber structures. The settlement consists of several building levels. The artifacts found there are dating from the 6 th – 5 th centuries BC. The structures are rectangular, built like log cabins. There are also found remains of hurdle fences. The excavators have managed to fix floors of the log cabins. One of them measured 112 m 2 and contained partitions. The logs were inserted in one another. There have survived six rows of log walls. The pottery of “Simagre” settlement is dating from the 6 th – 5 th centuries BC. Most of the wares are manufactured locally and typologically are similar in all the uncovered levels. At the same time they are characteristic to the 6 th – 5 th century BC Colchian artifacts: jars, clay cisterns, pots and their lids, drinking vessels, pitchers with tubular handles, tumblers, dishes, basins, cone shaped spindle-whorls, bronze knives, iron lance heads, hoes, knives, hooks, bit wears, oblonged querns, wooden deepers, cornelian and agate beads, and a gold triangular pendant decorated with a granulated meander. A group of imported pottery consists of Chios, Lesbos and Samian amphorae, Ionian table wares basins, oil-lamps and kylixes, Attic black-slip and black-figured kylixes. 5 th – 4 th century BC plastered log structures were uncovered in 9 km distance from the sea, along the left terrace of the Rioni river. There were found Colchian wares – pots, 234

tumblers, lids, jugs with tubular handles. The Hellenistic period pieces were found in the south of “Simagre” settlement. These were pot -shards of rimmed clay cisterns and Colchian amphorae, also the undersides of Sinopean amphorae [Mikeladze, M. 1978: 50 –78]. A pair of concave sided, Early Medieval, locally manufactured amphorae and rectangular bricks with two crossing grooves were found at Poti arboretum, in the north-east of the airport. Pieces of bricks and tiles, pot-shards of an amphora with corrugated exterior, Emperor Hadrian’s (117 – 138) silver didrachm minted in Caesarea town were found next to Poti airport inside a trench made in the north of Nadjikhuri site. Remains of a cemetery and a structure built of stone, brick and lime mortar were uncovered in the north-east of Simagre settlement (distance 300m), on the left bank of the Rioni river. Bricks with crossing grooves, single-handled pitchers, mugs, two-handled pots, and basins also were found there. The pottery is made of well worked clay and baked in pale brown color. The finds are dating from the Early Medieval period. The Early Medieval period pot-sherds (pointed saucers of clay cisterns, basins and concave sided amphorae) came to light while building a bridge across the Kaparchina river in the south-east part of Poti town, at lake Paliastomi. A corrugated amphora was found at the left estuary of lake Paliastomi (the Thkorina river). Pot-shards of the Early Medieval period came to light at the mouth of the Pichori river which also flows into lake Paliastomi. Another group of pot-shards of the same period were uncovered at “Nadjikuri” (discovered by Dubois de Montpereux), present Poti airdrome. The group consisted of bricks with crossing grooves and pot-shards of corrugated pottery. One more collection of the Early Medieval period pot-shards (of clay cisterns, corrugated amphorae etc) were unearthed in the south-west of “Nadjikhuri”, where the river Shavi flows into lake Paliastomi. There are several artifacts bearing Greek and Latin inscriptions connected with Phasis: A silver chalice (diameter -21 cm) with swelling inwards underside. It comes from Kuban so called Zubov kurgan. The chalice is decorated with a snake’s and deer’s heads. A Greek inscription 235

runs round the rim - AΠΟLLΩΝΟΣ· НГЕМОNOΣ· ЕIMI· TOM· ΦАΣI –. “It belongs to Apollo the leader who is in Phasis”. The inscription is made in Ionian dialect of the Greek language and is palaeographically dated to the 4th century [Lordkipanidze, O. 2000: 7 – 11; Tsetskhladze, G. 1994:199 –216]. A stamped tile with Latin inscription emerged among the ruins of Tsikhisdziri castellum (now in the National Museum, Tbilisi): - VEX [illatio] FA[siana]. The tile is considered to be made for the garrison stationed at Phasis in the 2nd century [Shpaidel, M. 1985:140]. A chalice bearing a Georgian secular inscription was found at Poti, near lake Paliastomi (now at the Kutaisi Museum of History, #3788). A special hydro archaeological exploratory expedition was organized at the Centre for Archaeological Studies (Academy of Sciences of Georgia) in 1985 (Director G. Gamkrelidze). The team had to investigate the Black Sea coastal areas of Georgia and first of all create a special hydro archaeological map of quite a large territory. Besides making the map the team had to reconsider all the existing written records, geographical and geomorphologic data and collate all of them from hydro archaeological point of view. Poti town and neighboring areas seem the most interesting and such circumstances had determined the first steps of the team. Remains of a dew stone wall was uncovered in the south part of lake Paliastomi, at the end of the Kaparchina river, at “Naeklesiari” area, but the pot shards picked there did not allow the scholars to date the site and the pieces properly. Remains of a 3 rd – 8 th century settlement were uncovered in a distance of 0.5 km from lake Paliastomi estuary (Maltakva) at “Natekhebi” area where the lake forms a bay. As soon as we began the explorations there emerged a question – was the pottery brought by the river Rioni or were they the remains of a settlement. Further researches showed that it was a settlement according to a number of sound features: First – large quantities of pottery gathered at a certain area. Second – several amphorae vertically dug into the soil. Third – remains of a burial. Fourth – several test-pits yielded the same pottery as picked on the bottom of the 236

lake. The remains of “Natekhebi” settlement occupy an area of about 900 m2 . The bottom of the lake is covered with sand (about 300 m towards the centre), layers of clay and peats. At some of the areas the peats are covered with sand. It is not at all excluded that there may be artifacts of earlier periods beneath the clay and peats. Lake Paliastomi occupies a n area of 18 km 2 . The levels of the Black Sea and the lake are equal. The rivers flowing into the lake come from swampy areas and the deepest among them is the Pichori. Geomorphologists believe that a lake – Laguna Paliastomi as a seaborn relic. In ancient times there was a estuary of the Rioni river [Dzvelaia, M. 1973: 25 – 33]. It seems quite natural that seafarers used the estuary as a very convenient harbor and then continued their way via Paliastomi sailing upstream the Rioni River – a very popular transit trading seaway. Dubois de Montpereux offered an interesting interpretation of “Paliastomi”. He explained the toponym through the old Greek language – “an old estuary” – PALAIOS -STOMA. Karl Koch agreed with him [Koch, K.; Spenser, O. 1981: 173]. There are cases when some of Greek written records mentioned two words together - io // ó (liman, estuary). It is clear that the terms mentioned above have several, somehow synonymic, meanings. It is also a very interesting fact that one of the meanings of the word - óω – is a castellum. Pottery predominates among the artefacts uncovered at “Natekhebi” settlement excavated in lake Paliastomi which together with other archaeological evidences (archaeotopographic, glass wares and metal pieces etc) help to create an impression about the life of ancient settlers of “Natekhebi” and their trade contacts. Pot-shards found in Paliastomi (“Natekhebi” settlement) may be grouped this way: – building material, container and household wares. Building material consists of bricks and tiles. The bricks are 3 – 5 cm thick. They are of the same size as those picked at the Early Medieval period towns of west Georgia – Bichvinta, Sokhumi, Ochamchire, Gudava, Nokalakevi, Mtisdziri, Vashnari, Kobuleti – Pichvnari, 237

Tsikhisdziri, Gonio ets. The tiles are flat with their sides turned up (solen – like). The height of the turned up side is 3.5 – 5 cm, thickness of the tile – 1.5 – 2.5 cm. They are made of reddish-brown clay with some (limestone, quartz) inclusions. Among the shards some belong to flat imported tiles, and their clay is like Sinopean clay. Together with the bricks and tiles there were found the remains of logs and burnt plastering. It seems quite possible that log cabins, plastered with clay and roofed with tiles, were built onto a ground floor built of bricks. Flavius Arrian noted: “Earlier the walls were made of clay with timber towers standing on them at Phasis town but now the walls and the towers both are built of bricks” [Arrian, F. 1961:40]. Amphorae container make the majority, or even the main part of the containers uncovered at “Natekhebi” settlement. These locally produced concave sided amphorae are very close to those found at Nokalakevi. Normally such amphorae are common at the Late Antique – Early Medieval sites of west Georgia such as Gantiadi village, Bichvinta, Sokhumi, Ochamchire, Gudava, Mtisdziri, Tsikhisdziri, Varditsikhe, Kobuleti – Pichvnari. Household pottery consists of basins, jugs, pots and mortaris. The pots are plain, broad-bodied and short-necked. Their rims are everted, clay is 6 – 8 mm thick, undersides are with concentric lines, diameter – 7 – 10 cm. Basins make the majority of “Natekhebi” settlement kitchen pottery. They are mostly with rounded, low sides and flat undersides. There were also found rim and side pieces of mortaris (clay is 8 – 10 mm thick). The clay of the mortaris is brownish with limestone, mica and quartz inclusions and it means that they were produced locally. Such mortaris are common at Varditsikhe, Vani, Bichvinta, Ochamchire, Gudava, Nokalakevi, Mtisdziri etc. In addition to above mentioned household containers there were found clay cisterns with concentric, relief lines around their bodies and flat undersides. Their clay is dark brown, 16 – 19 mm thick. A quantity of imported pottery (25%) found at “Natekhebi” settlement enables me to create a general impression about the contacts 238

between the natives and the foreigners. These are imported amphorae, red slip basins and glass wares. The clay of the amphorae is like Sinopean – it is pale grayish with a violet shade. There are also underside, side, and handle pieces of the amphorae with corrugated bodies. There are several groups of amphorae made of clay like Sinopean. Such amphorae come from Bichvinta, Sokhumi, Ochamchire, Gudava, Tsikhisdziri, Tsebelda etc. Reddish-brown amphorae make another group among “Natekhebi” household pottery. They are made of well-worked clay and have medium size. Similar amphorae have been found at Bichvinta, Tsikhisdziri, at the agora of Athenae. It is also possible that they are of the Mediterranean origin. The settlement yelded also semispherical undersides of corrugated amphorae with small warts on their tips. They are made of reddish -brown clay. Such undersides come from Bichvinta, Tsebelda, Sokhumi and Tsikhisdziri. There are also undersides of Samian amphorae which are common at Bichvinta, Sokhumi, Ochamchire, Tsikhisdziri, Tsebelda, Nokalakevi and Varditsikhe. The latter is quite far from the Black Sea coastal area. There is a group of brown-burnished amphorae container among the ones found at “Natekhebi” settlement. The clay of such vessels contains fine inclusions of mica. These amphorae have tubular necks and rollers around their rims. Their handles are horizontally attached at their rims. In form they are similar of those found in the 2 nd – 3 rd century layers of the northern Black Sea towns, but are rather infrequent at Georgian Black Sea coastal sites. There were also uncovered several pot-shards of redslip ware at the settlement. They are plain with the rims curved inwards. Their well-worked brownish clay, with fine inclusions of mica, is baked evenly. A red slip has survived perfectly. Such wares are common in the 4 th – 5 th century layers of west Georgian sites such as: Gonio, Tsikhisdziri, Ochamchire, Sokhumi, Bichvinta, Vashnari, Nokalakevi, Kutaisi, Tsebelda, Mtisdziri etc. It is important to note that large quantities of such pottery have been found at coastal towns of the country (e.g. Sokhumi, Bichvinta etc). 239

Glassware’s make one more group of containers found at the settlement. These mostly are pedestal led goblets. In addition to them there were scraps of some unidentified glass vessels and also pieces of a window pane. The glass is transparent, pale greenish though there are sky-blue pieces too. Such glass is unearthed at Tsebelda, Gudava, Mtisdziri, Sokhumi, Nokalakevi etc. Similar pedestalled goblets are dating from the 4 th – 8 th centuries and plenty of them are found at coastal settlements of the Mediterranean and Black seas. They are also found in regions far from the seas – in the Asia Minor, Caucasia and Near East. Stemmed glass goblets come from Mtskheta, Urbnisi, Rustavi, Zhinvali, Tbilisi, Bichvinta, Sokhumi, Tsebelda, Ochamchire, Gudava, Tsikhisdziri, Vashnari, Mtisdziri, Vardistsikhe and the other Early Medieval period settlements. They differ in form and color. The ones found at coastal settlements seem comparatively similar. There were remains of a pit tomb in the north-east underwater part of “Natekhebi” settlement. The tomb yielded a concave sided amphora with a broken rim. The amphora was lidded with an underside of another one. The amphora contained burnt bones of poultry and a pig. An individual was next to the amphora. The pit tomb also contained a bronze pin (length 7.7 cm), three bow-shaped bronze pins with long, sharp tips (length 4.3 cm, 4.3 cm and 5.2 cm) dating from the 6th century, a rectangular, flat piece of lead, a pedestalled glass goblet (pedestal diameter 4.3 cm), a Byzantine 20 nummi copper coin with a letter “K” on the reverse, while the obverse is illegible. The coin is minted during the reign of Justinian II (565 – 578). Another copper coin of emperor Constantius II (337 – 361) was uncovered in the west part of “Natekhebi” settlement. Archaeological material of “Natekhebi” settlement is in the Poti town Site Museum storage [For more detailed information see Gamkrelidze, G. 1987,98–117; Gamkrelidze, G. 1992:30–48; Gamkrelidze, G. 1990:215-219; Gamkrelidze, G.1992:101-119; Gamkrelidze, G. 1990:223-236]. At the present stage of study “Natekhebi” settlement discovered under the waters of lake Paliastomi may be dated to the 3rd – 8th 240

centuries. As to the pit tomb found there, it may belong to the 6th century. The artifacts found at the settlement point to a close par allelism to other contemporaneous sites of west Georgia (Kutaisi, Mtisdziri, Vashnari, Tsebelda etc) and especially to Bichvinta, Sokhumi, Ochamchire, Gudava and Nokalakevi. It seems fairly possible that “Natekhebi” settlement structures are the remains of the Byzantine period Phasis described by Agathias and Procopius of Caesarea as lying at the estuaries of the rivers Pichori, Shavi and Kaparchina. The town was probably dislocating because of certain geomorphologic changes [For more detailed information see Gamkrelidze 1987: 97 – 117; Gamkrelidze, G. 1992: 211-216; Gamkrelidze, G. 1992: 30 – 48]. The localization of Phasis town is as if strictly fixed by the authors of Greek and Latin written records – the town lay at the left bank of the Phasisi river delta and after this they mention a lake (probably Paliastomi). Such description completely coincides with the present day locality of Poti town. This is why all the scholars note that Phasis town is to be searched for at Poti and adjacent territories [see: Berdznishvili, M. 1942, 3 – 21; Grigolia, G. 1973, 36 – 55, Lordkipanidze, O. Mikeladze,T. 1973, 17 – 36; Gamkrelidze,G. 1993]. In spite of the circumstances like this Phasis of the Classical – Hellenistic periods is not yet discovered and the reason for it is a very complicated palaeogeomorphological situation existing in the area [Djanelidze, Ch. 1973: 5 – 16, 21 – 33; Dzvelaia, M. 1973; Djanelidze, Ch. 1980: 21 – 64]. From geomorphologic point of view Kulevi – Poti – Ureki seaside is as if a missing link in a Georgian coastal context (330 km in length). The fact of global regression and transgression of the Black Sea with regard to Phasis seems more than obscure. The problem of local dynamics of the coastal shelf remains still uncertain. Very often geomorphologists rely upon archaeologists’ information and make their own inferences according the locations of the settlements. As to me, I am sure that this problem needs an all – embracing investigation but first of all the geomorphologists should tell us what the coastal dynamics was like and where exactly the Rioni flew into the sea. They should also take into consideration global (regression 241

and transgression of the sea) and local (hill – wash or ballast brought by the rivers, also old beds of the Rioni, Pichori, Khobi and Supsa rivers swampy and peaty territories) data. It seems preferable to use properly deciphered space photos in palaeogeomorphological investigations in order to clarify once and for ever where exactly the Phasisi – Rioni flew into the sea and how the Late Bronze – Early Iron and Antique period settlements were related with the river. Unfortunately air photos appeared absolutely useless in the case like this. It is also important to note that the Rioni river has been carrying an enormous amount of ballast since the periods mentioned above and it seems quite natural to suppose that the river delta is dislocated and vast areas are under water today. There are series of settlements along Kulevi – Poti – Ureki coastal areas: the Late Bronze – Early Iron period ones at the estuary of Khobi river, at Kulevi village, in the north of Poti town. A 6 th – 4 th century BC one at the Tsiva river, at the estuary of the Supsa river, in the south of Poti town. Here belong “Natekhebi” settlement too which i s in lake Paliastomi, at the same Poti where a 4th century BC pot-shard of a blackslip container and a base-ring of a Rhodosian amphora (see above) was found. It is important to note that an area of about 200 m width was covered with the sea during 1872 – 1965 [Kekelia, J. 1981: 505 – 508]. It seems so that Phasis town sank in the sea. This fact is amply illustrated. The information offered by geographers – says that a so called Phanagorian regression in the Black sea finished at approximately between the turn of BC and AD and began its transgression [Djanelidze, Ch. 1973: 5 – 16; 1980: 148 – 159]. In the result the level of the sea became about 3 m higher and covered all the then settlements [Djanelidze, Ch. 1973: 16]. Similar process developed in the northern [Blagovolin, N. Shcheglov, A. 1968: 15 – 27] and southern (e.g. Sinope) Black Sea lands where a certain number of the Antique period towns were covered with water. A geomorphological situation of Poti – Grigoleti shelf is too complicated. The sea is muddy and it is extremely difficult to see 242

anything in it at the estuary of the Rioni river south ramification. The river carries silt which forms under water dunes during the storms. Accordingly if imagine that the process has been going on for centurie s it will be easier to suppose that the remains of Phasis town are covered with the thickest layer of sand. Good sized pot-shards of concave sided amphorae were found during hydro archaeological researches in a distance of 25 m from the beach in the sea. An early period Sinopean amphora (rim diameter - 12cm) with tubular neck (15 cm high), solid handles (ovoid in section) on the shoulder was uncovered near the Supsa river canyon in the sea. Another Heraclea Pontica amphora dating from the 4th century BC wa s found again in the sea at Maltakva. So, collation of the present day geomorphological and topoarchaeological information enables me to conclude that the Classical and Hellenistic period Phasisi is to be searched for on the land and in the sea within the radius of approximately 12 km or more precisely in the triangle of Poti – Kulevi – Supsa and Chaladidi – Sakorkio. Because of local geomorpgological changes ie accumulation of ballast (carried by the rivers), dislocation of peats, extremely moistened soil, change of the sea level etc a part of Phasis town was probably covered with water from time to time. This is why the town was often dislocated within the confines of the just mentioned territorial triangle (see Fig.I,II,III).

ON THE EVOLUTION THE COLCHIAN AMPHORAE (the 4th cent. BC to the 3rd cent. AD) A study of these ties between the Greek world and Colchis (Western Georgia) are of interest not only as regards the history and Archaeology of Old Georgia, but also as regards the Greek world and its relations with the Pontus Euxinus (Black sea) seaboard. In the Hellenistic epoch, one of the commercial routes connecting East and West lay through Old Georgia. This route ran from India as far as the Caspian Sea, then through the Caucasus along the riv. Kur, across the Lixiis cedi pass, down the Black sea at the city Phasis and the stretched across the sea to the cities in Asia Minor and on the Black sea seaboard. Imported amphorae in Colchis, the eastern Black Sea area in western Georgia, emerge as commercial containers from the second half of the 6th cent. BC. Amphorae made at urban centers of the Black and Mediterranean Seas are attested here [Puturidze, R. 1976:79-90]. The manufacture of local â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colchian amphoraeâ&#x20AC;? (resp. brown-clay) began from the second half of the 4th cent. BC. By this period, Colchian amphorae resemble their Sinopean counterparts. In the numerous archaeological finds of Colchian amphorae of western Georgia, different typological variants are noticeable in terms of form, capacity and clay. [Puturidze, R. 2003:98-109; Puturidze, R. 1977:68-71; Lordkipanidze, O. 1966:137-140; Kakhidze, A. 1971:55-63; Lordkipanidze, G. 1970:81-82; Gamkrelidze, G. 1982: 69-98; Brashinski, I. 1980:pl. XXIII; Vnukov, S. Tsetskhladze, G. 1991:170-185; Khalvashi, M. 2002:10-20, and others]. There is a difference chronologically as well. Colchian amphorae appear to have been manufactured at many sites on the territory of western Georgia. Amphorae of local production from the second half of the 4th cent. BC to the 8rd cent. AD were made subsequently too with various modifications (Fig.IV). In 1950 archaeologist B. Kuftin was the first who put forward an idea about the possibility of producing amphorae in West Georgia (Colchis). Archaeologist R. Puturidze was the first who began studying of amphorae. R. Puturidze had treated the Late Classical and Hellenistic period concave sided amphorae and regarded them as manufactured in 249

Colchis. In 1959 R. Puturidze had gained herself at the archaeological sites and Georgia’s museums and paid a special attention to the concave sided amphorae from the Kutaisi, Poti and Vani museums. I. Zeest, speaking about Bosphorus’ ceramic container had singled out one group among the Hellenistic period amphorae and called them “brown clay amphorae” produced somewhere in the southern Black Sea lands. O. Lordkipanidze orally stated opinion and wrote that the Hellenistic period brown clay amphorae were pottered in Colchis. A. Kakhidze too had agreed with the opinion and divided Pichvnari amphorae of this type into two groups: Colchian comparatively high amphorae of brown clay with cylindrical ring-bases and Colchian shorter ones with button-like ring-bases. O. Lordkipanidze believed that the Colchian origin of brown clay amphorae has been borne out by not only their wide distribution in Colchis or with close similarity of the local clay used for manufacturing of native pottery but also by the signs made on them before baking which are like those made on Colchian pithoi. I. Zeest agreed with Georgian archaeologists about the possibility of producing brown clay amphorae in Colchis and stressed how important it was to localize the manufacturing centre. G.Tsetskhladze had made numbers of petrographic analyses and contributed to the study of the problem. He has published a number of his own papers and some more in co -authorship with other scholars. He has rendered great services to the problem of dating of Colchian amphorae found in the northern Black Sea lands. He had singled them out and then dated them properly. Find of burning kilns together with pot shreds of brown clay amphorae, other pottery and tiles around them once again proved that amphorae were made in Colchis not only in the Hellenistic period but even later and they had various forms and shapes, even more, they were produced at many Colchian sites. Excavations of Vani town were exclusively productive and important from the point of view of Colchian amphorae, which made it easier to date them better according to their find spots and accompanying artifacts. Most of them had completely been restored. In the result we have got a full picture of alterations in their 250

forms and shapes beginning from the later half of the 4th century BC and until the 1st century BC when the town was perished. Many dozens of shreds of Colchian amphorae were found in the suburb of Vani town. Native amphorae dating from the 2nd â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1st centuries BC are found in abundance at Vani town that enables me to suppose that they had almost completely displaced other kinds of such vessels. They had been found in the ruins of the town and many of them were even restored. It appeared that they slightly differ from one another that make it possible to suppose that either they were made at different local workshops, or they were made by different potters. Signs engraved on unbaked surfaces of necks, handles and seldom on bodies of these amphorae (but not on all of them) first appeared in the Late Hellenistic period. About 40 different signs made on the amphorae have been found at Vani town. In general, typological-chronologically, Colchian Amphorae present the following picture: Colchian Amphorae of the second half of the 4 th cent. BC to the first half of the 3rd cent. BC resemble Sinopean ones; however, the surface of the clay is coarser, and the color brownish. Light-brownish specimens also occur. The body of local, Colchian Amphorae is egg-shaped, close to cylindrical; the handles are equally curved and oval in section (Fig.I, fig. 1-4). Colchian Amphorae of the 2nd cent.-1st cent. BC develop a concavity in the belly; the neck is cylindrical and comparatively short; clay on the surface is coarse and of brownish hue; light-brown specimens also occur (pl.II, fig.2-4). In general, one of the principal characteristics of Colchian Amphorae is a spiral at the bottom (Fig.III), the so-called rosette-like in some researchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; terminology. Such spirals are not characteristic of foreign Amphorae. The clay structure of Colchian Amphorae is nappy-porous. The clay contains whitish and blackish small-fragment specks. Admixtures occur of diabase and basalt; pyroxenites, quartz, mica, iron (III) hydroxide, etc. Mineralogical-petrographic analysis of the clay has been carried out, demonstrating its identity with local, Colchian clays of different regions [see Morchadze, T. 1979:81; Poporadze, U. Paradashvili, I. Akhvlediani, D. Gasitashvili, A. 2006: 220-224]. Some specimens of Colchian Amphorae of the 2 nd-1st cent. BC bear signs (e. g. see Fig.V, fig. 2). Perhaps they were made by the potter to indicate the 251

capacity of the vessel or the number of specimens made. The signs on Colchian Amphorae resemble those made on locally made wine pithoi and tiles. It should be noted also that in one local amphora, brought to light at Vani, the surface is treated in the same way as local wine pithoi – horizontal bands or vertical lines [Puturidze, R. 1977:68-69]. Kilns for firing pottery have been discovered in Colchis, where fragments of amphorae have been attested along with those of other types of ceramic wares. A kiln of this type has been found near the village of Gvandra (Abkhazia), dating from the 3rd cent. BC. A similar kiln came to light on the “Red Beacon” settlement site near Sukhumi. Remains of a kiln have been studied on a settlement site south-west of v. Gulripshi. Colchian amphorae of the 2nd cent. BC and 1st cent. BC have a special spiral at the bottom. The cylindrical foot assumes mushroom-like rounded shape and the end is thickened. The walls of Colchian amphorae of this period are relatively thin. Some scholars even call it button-like. The body of the amphora has more concavity; scholars believe that this concavity is connected with transportation on land. The concavity would easier hold the rope and it would be easier to load it on a horse or ass. The capacity of Colchian amphorae ranges from 13 to 22 liters. Amphorae with ribbed neck and concave body of the 2 nd-3rd cent. AD must be a continuation of the subsequent period of Colchian amphorae of the 2nd-1st cent. BC; they have an elongated body, almost equally curved handles and a spiral at the bottom. Their walls are relatively thinner, and they have a rib on the neck, at the place of attachment of the handles. Amphorae of this type have been found at Bichvinta, Sukhumi, Eshera, Tsebelda, Poti (Paliastomi), Ureki, Kobuleti Pichvnari, Tsikhisdziri, Gonio, etc (Fig.IV, 3); [Khalvashi, M. 2002:10-20]. From the 3rd-4th cent. AD a new type of Colchian amphora with concave body and spiral at the bottom develop. The handles of these amphorae are sharply curved in the upper part, and the body is narrower and elongated. Some specimens have low corrugation on the body. The handles lose its oval shape in section, becoming flatter (Fig.IV, 4). Colchian amphorae have been discovered in large numbers on settlement sites of the 2nd-1st cent. BC all over the territory of historical Colchis. There is almost no former settlement 252

site here with such amphorae not coming to light. It is almost unanimously acknowledged in the specialist literature that these amphorae are of local, Colchian, manufacture. Colchian Amphorae are attested at the following points: Eshera, Sukhumi, Ochamchire, the River Inguri valley, the area adjoining Poti, v. Ureki, the interfluve of the Supsa-Natanebi, v. Tsikhisdziri, Pichvnari near Kobuleti, v. Makhvilauri, Batumi, v. Gonio, v. Bukistsikhe, v. Gurianta, v. Dapnari, v. Dablagomi, v. Mtisdziri, the environs of Kutaisi, v. Sagvichio, Vani and its environs, and others. Colchian Amphorae of the 2nd-1st cent. BC have come to light at various settlement sites of the northern Black Sea area, namely Gorgippia, , Cyteus, Cepoi, Naples (Scythian), Chersonesus, Donuzlav, Belyaus, Karatobe, Cercinitides, etc [Vnukov, S. Tsetskhladze, G. 1991:170-185]. A high relief stamp is fixed on the upper part of the handle of the Colchian amphora discovered in the lower layer of “Natekhebi”(in Poti). The handle is of oval section; the clay brownish, with whitish and blackish noticeable in it; the surface is coarse-nappy-porous. The stamp is circular (diam.: 1.9 cm), with an equal-beam cross in it; the stamp is an epigraphic; the cross is slanted in relation to the handle (Fig.V, fig. 1). Until quite recently, circular stamped Colchian amphorae were unknown to scholarship. At present cross stamps placed within a circle have been brought to light, resembling one another: from Poti, Pichvnari-Choloki, former city site of Vani. To date nine specimens are known in all. One piece is attested by oral communication. The stamps of this type are attested on a wine jar of local production. A cross placed within a circle may have been a sign of a prominent person of authority of some urban settlement or region of Colchis. The product of the ceramic workshops under him was branded with such an emblem. “Vani”, “Kobuleti-Pichvnari” or Phasis may have been such an urban centre. The raw material and manufacture of Colchis were exported onto the international market via the city of Phasis. It is not ruled out that these brands belonged to a king’s official who was charged with control of the manufacture of amphora-containers and was responsible for the quality of the commodities to be transported in them. Bearing in mind the well-known brands of 3rd cent. BC Colchian amphorae from Dioscurias-Eshera, with the 253

name of the city inscribed [see Puturidze, R., 2003; pl. I, 2], then a brand with a cross may be taken for an emblem of some other city, e. g. the trading city of Phasis. This city was an important trade centre [Lordkipanidze, O. 2000; Gamkrelidze, G. 2003:170-185; Braund, D. 1994:102-103; Gamkrelidze, G. 1992:6-29, and others], (Fig.I). It is mentioned by the following authors: pseudo-Scylax (4th cent. BC), Aristotle , Plato, Heraclides Zembos, Hipocrates, Theocritus, Strabo, pseudo-Plutarch, Pliny, Gaius Secundus (Elder), Pomponius Mela, Flavius Arrian, Plutarch, Claudius Ptolemaios, pseudoOrpheus, Themistios, Castorius, Ammianus Marcellius, Zosimus, Stephanus Byzantinus, Agathias, Theophanes the Chronograph, George Cedrenus, and others [see Gamkrelidze G. 2003:170-173]. The city of Phasis was one of the principal points of the sea and river transit commercial route of Asia-Europe. Through the city of Phasis iron, timber, flax, linseed oil, honey, wax, wine, etc. were exported abroad [Lordkipanidze, O. 1966:117-120; Gamkrelidze, G. 1992:6-18]. Thus, on the basis of the recent archaeological evidence discovered in Western Georgia or Colchis, as well as by recourse to and consideration of other artifacts we may conclude that from the second half of the 4 th-to the 2nd cent. BC inclusive amphorae were made in Colchis, on which proprietary, trade brands were stamped, as was the practice in Mediterranean and Black Sea urban centre. I believe these stamps constitute the proprietary (legal) emblem of an urban centre (e.g. Phasis) of Colchis or of some person of advanced position who was in control of the manufacture of amphorae and assumed responsibility for the quality of the products, exported in these commercial vessels (containers). This, in its turn points to the higher level of development of the Colchian society of the period and to the quality of its integration in advanced urban centre of the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
