Varaz-Bakur II, ვარაზ-ბაკურ II), of the
Chosroid Dynasty, was the king of
Iberia (
Kartli, eastern
Georgia) from c.
380 to
394. He was the son and successor of
Mirdat III and was married to the daughter of
Trdat, his relative and successor. He is credited by the Georgian chronicles with the construction of the church of
Tsilkani. During his reign, the
Roman Empire signed the
Peace of Acilisene with
Sassanid Iran in which it admitted to the loss of Iberia and a greater portion of
