Wikipedia: In ancient geography, Colchis or Kolkhis was an ancient Georgian, state kingdom and region in Western Georgia, which played an important role in the ethnic and cultural formation of the Georgian nation and its related groups. The Kingdom of Colchis as an early Georgian state contributed significantly in development of the medieval Georgian statehood after its unification with eastern Georgian Kingdom of Iberia-Kartli. The term Colchians is used as the collective term for early Georgian tribes which populated the eastern coast of the Black Sea.
