Phasis, Archaeological site in Poti, Georgia
The ancient city remains lie at the confluence of the Rioni River and the Black Sea, near the modern port city of Poti.
Established by Milesian Greek settlers in the 7th-6th centuries BCE, Phasis developed into a major trading center along the Black Sea coast.
Archaeological excavations revealed silver bowls with Greek inscriptions dedicated to Apollo, indicating strong Hellenistic influences in the region.
The archaeological site contains foundations of ancient structures, pottery fragments, and metal artifacts dating from different historical periods.
According to ancient Greek geographer Strabo, 60 different tribes speaking distinct languages gathered in Phasis for trade and cultural exchange.
