	Caucasian Iberia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Iberia was a name given by the ancient Greeks and Romans to the ancient Georgian kingdom of Kartli (4th century BC-5th century AD) corresponding roughly to the eastern and southern parts of the present day Georgia.
		Iberia became a tributary of the Sassanian state during the reign of Shapur I (241-272).
		According to the opinion of several historians, the Caucasian peoples together with the Iberians, Pelasgians and Etruscans, might be branches of a former population living in a vast territory near the Mediterranean, and in Asia Minor, before the people of the Indo-European group made the area the place of their habitat.
