 | | Lazika or Lazistan was a principality under successive Byzantine and Arab rule. |
| | In the IXth century, Lazistan was occupied by the Principality of Taoklardjetia and in the Xth century it was annexed by the Kingdom of Georgia. |
| | The oldest known flag of Lazistan is a heraldic banner from the XVIIIth century, probably still in use on 28 August 1878, when the country was annexed to the Russian Empire (following the treaty of Saint Stephen) as an autonomous territory (1878-1883), later incorporated into the Kutais Province (1883-1903). |
