Lori

Lori es una región geográfica histórica de Georgia y Armenia. En la antigüedad y la Edad Media, también se conocía como Tashir o Tashirk. Después de la construcción de la Fortaleza de Lori por el Rey David I Anhoghin, la región también se denominó Lori. Geography and toponymy The earliest name is Tashir or Tashirk. Pliny refers to the form Thasie. The central part of the region was also referred to as Tashiritskhali, which is rendered as Tashir Valley from Georgia. Until the 7th century, its center was Odzun; later, Lori (Lore) or Loriberd became the central cities. History Ancient Times The region of Tashir was returned to Georgia in the wake of the Pharnavazids' expansion. After coming into possession of the Georgian regions of Tashir, as well as Ashotsi, the Pharnavazids united them into the Duchy of Samshvilde. In the 2nd century B.C., the re-established Armenian monarchy occupied Tashir. The Artaxiad dynasty, in turn, created a separate administrative unit including Tashir.
