Battle of Basiani
The Battle of Basiani was fought around 1202 in the Basiani valley in north-eastern Anatolia, where the Georgian army of Queen Tamar under the Zakarid brothers defeated the army of the Seljuk sultan of Rum, Süleymanshah II. The victory confirmed Georgia's position as the leading power of the Caucasus and helped prepare its intervention in the founding of the Empire of Trebizond.
