COLCHIS, THE LAND OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE, REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA. Vani The site of an ancient temple city, Vani is a city in the Colchis Lowlands located on the western bank of the Sulori River at its confluence with the Rioni River (River Phasis in ancient times).
It is best known for the extensive archaeological excavations that have taken place there during the past 100 years. Although only a third of the site has been studied, it has produced an astonishing number of artifacts: Colchian pottery, exquisite golden jewelry unique to Colchis, imported Greek luxury items, graceful bronze sculptures and a vast array of funerary pieces. Its location is on a hill bordered by two ravines and overlooks the plains through which the Rioni River flows. There are beguiling views of the Sulori River Valley with its surrounding hills and the Meskhetian Mountain Range in the background.
