Trdat of Iberia

Trdat of Iberia

T'rdat ( _ka. თრდატი, sometimes Latinized as "Tiridates"), of the Chosroid Dynasty, was the king of Iberia (Kartli, eastern Georgia) from c. 394 to 406.

According to the Georgian chronicles, he was a son of Rev, son of Mirian III, the first Christian king of Iberia. He is reported to have succeeded, already in an advanced age, his relative and son-in-law, Varaz-Bakur II, and to have been forced to pay tribute to the Sasanids of Iran. The chronicles praise his piety and credit Trdat with the construction of churches at Rustavi and Nekresi.Rapp, Stephen H.
