A historical people or ethnic group from the Caucasus region, possibly related to or ancestors of groups in that area, though historical documentation is limited.
From historical and linguistic records of Caucasian peoples; the term appears in ancient historical texts but origins and relationships to modern groups are debated.
Like many ancient group names, 'Abasgi' is mostly known from Greek and Roman writers describing people they encountered—it reminds us that history gets written by travelers and conquerors!
