+Artaxias I«/b», of the «u»Artaxiad dynasty «/u», was a king of «u»Iberia «/u» (modern-day «u»Georgia «/u») from 90 to 78 BC. He is known exclusively from the medieval Georgian chronicles which gives his name as «b»Arshak«/b» («u»Georgian «/u»: «u»[1]
«/u»
A son of the «u»king of Armenia «/u», purportedly of «u»Artavasdes I «/u» (r. c. 161-post 123 BC), he is reported to have been installed following the nobles' revolt against the Iberian king «u»P'arnajom «/u» of the «u»Pharnabazid dynasty «/u». The rebels justified their choice by emphasizing that he was married to a Pharnabazid princess, probably a sister of P'arnajom. The account of his reign is remarkably short, stating only that his reign was without any major trouble and that he further fortified the city of «u»Tsunda «/u» in «u»Javakheti «/u».«u»[2]
