Professor George Kalandia, Doctor of History and Director of Art Palace, presented a public lecture about one of the most valuable but at the same time, extremely controversial topics – the political importance of King Heraclius II (i.e. Erekle II) of United East Georgian Kingdom.

The interest of the British press towards the Georgian prince began in the early 18th century, with the first newspaper article published by The General Evening Post in 1750 although the newsreels that briefly mention bits of information bout Georgia appeared as early as 1703. Professor Kalandia also found a few more news in the 1714 and 1723 issues of The Post Boy.
