Emirate Of Tbilisi
The Emirs of Tbilisi (Georgian: თბილისის საამირო, Arabic: إمارة تبليسي Imarāt Tiflisi) ruled over the parts of today’s eastern Georgia from their base in the city of Tbilisi, from 736 to 1080 (nominally to 1122). Established by the Arabs during their invasions of Georgian lands, the emirate was an important outpost of the Muslim rule in the Caucasus until recaptured by the Georgians under King David IV in 1122. Since then, the city has been the capital of Georgia to this day.
