While earlier episodes explored Georgia’s military struggles against Mongols, Seljuks, and Safavids, this episode turns its gaze to the economic arteries that kept the kingdom alive. We trace the journey of Georgian silk, wine, and iron along the northern routes through the Darial Gorge, examining how Tbilisi became a critical hub between the Islamic world and Christian Europe. The conversation focuses on the intricate diplomatic maneuvers of Queen Tamar and her successors as they navigated tariffs, protected merchant caravans, and leveraged their geographic position to extract wealth from passing powers. We also look at the specific guilds of the Mkhargrdzeli families who doubled as merchants, and how the decline of these trade networks in the 15th century left Georgia economically vulnerable to the rising Qajar and Ottoman empires. This is a story of commerce, cultural exchange, and the quiet power of the market. #GeorgianHistory #SilkRoad #CaucasusHistory #TbilisiTrade #QueenTamar #BagrationiDynasty #DarialGorge #MedievalCommerce #Sakartvelo #IberiaKingdom #Mkhargrdzeli #GeorgianWine #BlackSeaTrade #PersianEmpire #OttomanTradeRoutes #MedievalGuilds #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #AncientTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
