The emperor Constantine IX sends a message…

1048 CE

The emperor Constantine IX sends a message to the Georgian warlord Liparit, whom the imperial forces had aided in his struggle against the Georgian king Bagrat IV, to unite against the advancing Seljuqs, but orders Liparit to pursue a defensive strategy until the arrival of Georgian reinforcements.

The Seljuq forces effect the complete destruction of Artze, a vibrant commercial center in the imperial thema of Iberia (near the modern-day Erzurum, Turkey).
