THE GORGASALS BANNER King Vakhtang Gorgasal (5th century) is one of the most legendary persons from Georgian history. His flag was the main national symbol of Georgian Kingdom during many centuries. Despite this, survived historical sources dont give us an exact description of this banner. So our book presents hipothetical variant of its shape, size, colour and other features. In difference to other scientists we tend to think that this flag had not white colour, because it was embroidered by golden threads. So it had pale-goldish gleaming. We also affirm that there was big, dark-red cross with round crown (so-called Bolnuri Cross) depicted on this banner. And there were also inscribed sacred texts on it. In the second part of our book we discuss some main customs related with Gorgasals banner. And in the final third part we explain the meaning of symbols of this flag.
