Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In ancient
geography, Colchis or Kolkhis was an ancient Georgian, state kingdom and
region in Western Georgia, which played an important role in the ethnic
and cultural formation of the Georgian nation and its related groups.
The Kingdom of Colchis as an early Georgian state contributed
significantly to the development of medieval Georgian statehood after
its unification with the eastern Georgian Kingdom of Iberia-Kartli. The
term Colchians is used as the collective term for early Georgian tribes
which populated the eastern coast of the Black Sea.
