What is it about?
The article describes how Romans influenced urbanization processes in the South Caucasus region during Late Antiquity. Caucasian Iberia developed an urban elite that entailed urban structures necessary to rule cities and country. The second capital city of Iberia, Mtsketa reflected those processes.

Why is it important?
The Caucasus region in Late Antiquity is understudied. The article reveals previously unknown facts and develops new theories about urbanisation processes.
Perspectives
I anticipate that this article will trigger renewed interest among researchers and scholars, and support development of the field of urban studies of ancient Caucasia.
