	The History of Georgia

		Lazica was still dependent on Byzantium, but this dependence was growing weaker and the kings of Lazica gained more independence.

		One of his first tasks on ascending the throne was to make peace with the Byzantines, which he did in 532 evacuating several forts in Lazica, and to restore order in society, for as several sources state, children did not know who their fathers were, and questions of inheritance and ownership were unresolved.
		The aftermath of the Mazdakite troubles not only provided an opportunity to reduce the power of the great feudal lords, who after the time of Chosroes are little mentioned except as officials of the central government, but also to reorganize the clergy, the higher offices of which had been occupied by members of noble families.
		In Lazica the inhabitants revolted against Persian control, and a Byzantine force was sent in the fourth year of the truce to aid the local populace to oust the Persians, and as a result the Lazic war continued for a number of years.

		The treaty was on the whole favourable to the Byzantines, who lost no territory and whose suzerainty over the key district of Lazica (Colchis, in Asia Minor) was recognized by Persia.
		A five-years' truce was made in 545 and renewed in 551 but still did not extend to Lazica, which the Persians obstinately refused to restore, and a fierce struggle continued intermittently in this mountainous region.
		Justinian had thus maintained his eastern provinces virtually intact in spite of the vigorous offensives of the Persian king, so his policy on this front can hardly be described as a failure.

		In addition to these difficulties it chanced that a pestilence fell upon the army and many of the soldiers also met their death as a result of their lack of provisions.
		It happened also that Chosroes had sent an army of Huns against the Armenians who are subjects of the Romans, in order that by reason of their preoccupation with this force the Romans there might take no notice of what was going on in Lazica.
		Still other messengers brought word that these barbarians had encountered Valerian and the Romans and, upon engaging with them, and having been heavily defeated in battle, had for the most part been destroyed.

		On the other side, a number of chroniclers know of a Lazica campaign as well, but they put this event in 528.
		Therefore, the order in which Procopius narrates the campaign and the accession need not (and in the event, does not) imply a chronological sequence.
		Since both Procopius and the chroniclers each know of only one Lazica campaign, the identification is quite compelling.

		The dependent king of Lazica received his sceptre at the hands of the Persian monarch, and the successors of Constantine acquiesced in this injurious claim, which was proudly urged as a right of immemorial prescription.
		After the decease of his father, Zathus was exalted to the regal dignity by the favour of the great king; but the pious youth abhorred the ceremonies of the Magi, and sought, in the palace of Constantinople, an orthodox baptism, a noble wife, and the alliance of the emperor Justin.
		The king of Lazica was solemnly invested with the diadem, and his cloak and tunic of white silk, with a gold border, displayed, in rich embroidery, the figure of his new patron; who soothed the jealousy of the Persian court, and excused the revolt of Colchos, by the venerable names of hospitality and religion.

		This system was also a long-established custom with the Medes; and Chosroes, they say, increased the pay of his spies, and benefited by the precaution.
		But Justinian did away with the practice of hiring Roman spies, and in consequence lost much territory to the enemy, including Lazica, which was taken because the Romans had no information as to where the Persian King was with his army.
		The State had also always kept a large number of camels, which carried all the baggage when the Roman army marched against the foe.

		San Massimo è detto “il Confessore” perché seppe fieramente difendere l’ortodossia cristiana, con la parola, con gli scritti, con la vita, contro il monotelismo (teoria religiosa elaborata nel VII secolo in seno alla Chiesa bizantina; riconosceva le due nature di Cristo, ma affermava che in lui, la volontà divina predominava su quella umana).
		Martino I (649-655), il quale rimase vittima della persecuzione scatenata dall’imperatore, fu condotto prima prigioniero a Costantinopoli, poi processato nel 653 e inviato in esilio nel Chersoneso dove morì dopo due anni.
		Grande scrittore di quell’epoca, spaziò dalla morale all’ascetica, dalla dottrina mistica a quella tradizionale, teologo insigne, filosofo con la terminologia aristotelica; il punto centrale del suo pensiero fu Cristo, di cui contemplò profondamente i misteri, per difenderne l’integrità della natura umana.
