Battle with Spears. At the Battle of Krtsanisi in 1795 the 300 Aragvians fought to the last man defending Tbilisi — their sacrifice is still remembered every year. A dramatic relief of riders and warriors, full of movement, on one of the pillars. The memorial’s name echoes Kartlis Tskhovreba, “The Life of Kartli” — the medieval collection of Georgian chronicles that recorded the country’s story for centuries.
