The Bolnisi inscriptions (Georgian: ბოლნისის წარწერები, romanized: bolnisis ts'arts'erebi) are the Old Georgian inscriptions written in the Georgian Asomtavruli script on the Bolnisi Sioni Cathedral, a basilica located in Bolnisi, Bolnisi Municipality, Georgia. The inscriptions are dated AD 493/494. The construction of the basilica commenced in AD 478/479. Bolnisi inscription yields the most explicit reference to Peroz I, the Shahanshah ("King of Kings") of the Sasanian Empire. Construction of the basilica might have been connected to the accession of Peroz; their builders being encouraged in their efforts by the imperial construction projects.
