Tiflis

Tiflis is the pre-1936 name of Tbilisi the capital of Georgia. Tiflis was the capital of a mountainous, forest-clad government of the same name, which was abolished in 1917 when the Democratic Republic of Georgia was founded, and also of Russian Caucasia, on the Kar, 165 miles South-East of the Black Sea. It is a city of considerable antiquity and note, and owes much to-day to the energy of the Russians, who annexed it in 1802. The city is noted for its silver and other metal work.
