Chronology
The Umayyad invasion of Georgia, in Georgian historiography known as an Invasion of Marwan the Deaf (Georgian: მურვან ყრუს შემოსევა, romanized:murvan q'rus shemoseva) took place from 735 to 737, initiated by last Umayyad
caliph Marwan II against the Principality of Iberia. The goals of the campaign are disputed among historians. The Georgian historiography insists its main purpose was to finally break the stiff Georgian resistance against Arab rule,[1] however, the western historians such as Cyril Toumanoff,[2] and Ronald Suny,[3] view it as a general campaign directed at both the Byzantine Empire, who exerted dominion over Western Georgia, and the Khazars, whose repeated raids affected not only Iberia (Eastern Georgia) and the whole Caucasus, but had in 730 reached Arab lands all the way to Mosul.
