Chronicle of Georgia: Faces of Elders and Inscriptions

Faces of Elders and Inscriptions. Long before modern times Rustaveli wrote: “The lion’s whelps are equal, be they female or male” — a line Georgians quote with pride. A portrait in bronze, close enough to read every line of the face and robe. King Mirian III and Queen Nana accepted Christianity through Saint Nino, making Kartli one of the first kingdoms in the world to adopt it as the state faith.
