Dighomi, a suburb of Tbilisi, has been continuously inhabited since the early Bronze Age, according to archaeological evidence that includes stone items from the Paleolithic period. [11] It was the biggest city in the Caucasus Mountains during the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age. [12] Legend has it that trees still blanketed the area where modern-day Tbilisi is located as recently as the year 459. King Vakhtang I of Iberia (r. c. 447/49 – 502/22) is credited in one version of the Tbilisi founding myth for going falconry in the densely wooded area (sometimes the falcon is replaced with either a hawk or other small birds of prey in the legend). As the legend goes, the king’s falcon either grabbed or wounded a pheasant during the hunt, sending both birds plummeting into a nearby hot spring where they perished. The hot springs left such an impression on King Vakhtang that he decided to remove the forest and construct a city there.

After Vakhtang I’s death, his son and successor, King Dachi of Iberia (reign: 522–534), relocated the capital of Iberia from Mtskheta to Tbilisi and ordered the building of the city’s castle wall.

Tbilisi’s gradual expansion from the 6th century on was enabled by the city’s position on key roads connecting Europe and Asia.
