Caucasian Iberia
Caucasian Iberia was a Greek and Roman name of the ancient kingdom of Kartli in what is now Eastern Georgia which began about 302 BC and fell to the Byzantines and Persians in 580. The lists of early Iberian kings are principally based on early medieval Georgian annals and is blended with legend and fact. Beginning with Artag (1st century BC), many of them are also attested by Roman/Byzantine, Armenian and Persian sources. There is also some lack of consistency about the dates of their reigns. The chronology below is given as per Javakhishvili, Toumanoff and other modern scholars.

Georgian monarchy after 1801
After the Russian annexation of Kartli-Kakheti in 1801 and neighbouring Imereti in 1810 the various branches of the Bagrationi Dynasty of Georgian kings endured in Georgia under Russian occupation. However, many members were forced to flee the country and live in exile after the Red Army took control of the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1921 and installed the Georgian Communist Party. Since the Republic of Georgia regained independence in 1990 the former royals have been raising their profile and in 2008 the two rival strands of the dynasty were united in marriage (see picture).
