The Oldest Colchian Gold - Cultural background and International Context
The earliest golden items appeared on the territory of eastern Georgia during the 3rd millennium BC, in the so-called Early Barrows Culture; they continued until the Middle Bronze Age (mid-2nd millennium BC). After the Trialeti Great Barrows Culture period, almost no golden and silver items were found on the sites dating from the second half of the 2nd millennium to the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. Objects dating after this gap, during the 8th-6th centuries BC, have been discovered in various types of archaeological sites of Colchis. Tour paper aims to show the local and international cultural background based on which pre-classical Colchian goldsmithery was formed out.

This paper considers an article by the Danish Byzantinist Christian Høgel, “Euthymios the Athonite Greek-Georgian and Georgian-Greek translator and metaphrast?” The article reveals an essential innovation in Georgian studies: the discovery of the artistic style of Euthymius the Athonite as a Byzantine hagiographic writer; and an indication of his merits as an organizer of Byzantine church literature. The author of the paper Prof. Khintibidze puts forward new views on some problems of Barlaam-romance: Colophon of Iovane the Athonite; the date and reason for the creation of Barlaam-romance; on the identity of John (Ioane) - a monk of the monastery of St. Saba.
