    The term "Georgian" does not derive from Saint George, but from the ancient Persian Gurg or Gorg, meaning
    wolf, "supposedly a totemic symbol, or from the Greek georgios ("farmer," "cultivator of land").
    Self-identification is based mainly on linguistic tradition, and population groups that belong to different ethnolinguistic groups, such as Ossetians, Abkhazians, Armenians, Greeks, and Kurds, are not considered Georgian.
    There are some exceptions, such as Jews, who speak Georgian as a native language and have surnames with
    Georgian endings, but historically have had a distinct cultural identity. Georgians are subdivided into smaller
    regional ethno-cultural entities. All that has specific traditions and customs, folklore, cuisine, and dress and may
    speak a different language. Ajarans, unlike the Eastern Orthodox majority, are mostly Sunni Muslims. All these
    groups preserve and share a common identity, literary language, and basic system of values.

    Tbilisi

    Tbilisi, formerly Tiflis , capital of the republic of Georgia, on the Mtkvari (Kura) River at its dissection of the
    Trialeti (Trialetsky) and Kartli (Kartliysky, or Kartalinian) ranges. Founded in 458 (in some sources, 455), when
    the capital of the Georgian kingdom was transferred there fromMtskheta, the city had a strategic position,
    controlling the route between western and eastern Transcaucasia. It was often captured and sacked and knew
    many masters: the Persians in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empireand the Arabs in the 7th. In 1122 David

    Mtkvari

    Just 20 km from Tbilisi, at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, the city is located on an ancient trade
    route. Archaeologists have unearthed evidence of Mtskhetas status as a major trading post. Glass perfume
    bottles, Greek and Aramaic writings, pottery, metalwork and jewelry have all been unearthed in abundance
    here, and many examples are on show in the towns museum.
    The ancient geographer Strabo described Mtskheta as a highly developed city with a water supply system,
    markets and stone houses. Mtskheta was also the religious centre of the country, with a number of major
    shrines to Georgias pagan pantheon; these would later be replaced by churches when St. Nino converted the
    country to Christianity in around 337 AD.

    Gori

    The original fortress, constructed on a hilltop, was named Gori (meaning hill in English), and was mentioned in
    the Georgian chronicles as early as the VII century. Some historians believe that the fortress was built by
    Byzantine Caesar Heraclius to store ammunition battles against the Persians.
    Just after the XI century the area became an active center for trade. According to some historians, this was due
    to David the Builder founding the town. Because of its geographical location, enemies frequently targeted the
    fortress, as conquering it enabled control of the whole Shida Kartli region. The fortress has been invaded many
    times and controlled by Ossetians, Iranians and Persians, amongst others. The stronghold has been repeatedly
    destroyed and rebuilt.
