| Quote | “Our ancestor, king Parsman, was a big friend of the Roman Emperor, Hadrian. The Emperor often sent expensive gifts to Parsman. On Emperor’s request, once the king visited Rome […] It turns out our king was permitted to make a sacrifice in the Roman Capitolium. King Parsman and the Georgians accompanying him showed Romans […] martial exercise […] Delighted Hadrian ordered to make a statue of the Georgian king on horseback and had it installed at the Mars Square in Rome [...] The Roman Emperors knew the price of beauty too well, but I do not think that Hadrian’s friend Parsman was more handsome and good looking than the present king of Georgians” (pg. 79-80) |
