Revolt of Iberian nobles was a revolt against Saurmag I that took place in Iberia during 3rd century BCE.

Revolt

The nobles of Iberia united to kill Saurmag I. Learning of the plot, Saurmag took refuge in the land of Durdzuks (ancestors of modern-day Vainakhs), a country of his mother’s origin. With the Durdzuk help, Saurmag suppressed the revolt, and went on to create a new class of nobles directly dependent on the crown.
