Battle of Didgori
August 12, 1121
King David IV of Georgia, outnumbered perhaps five to one, lured a Seljuk army into a narrow pass south of Tbilisi and broke it in a single afternoon. Georgian chronicles called it a miracle. The victory opened the path for him to retake Tbilisi the following year and established Georgia as the dominant Christian power in the Caucasus for the next century and a half.
