The '''Battle of Svindax''' ({{lang-ka|სვინდაქსის ბრძოლა}}) was fought during the spring of 1022 between the Byzantine army of Emperor Basil II and the Georgian army of King George I. == History == The battle was fought at Svindax (a medieval Georgian chronicler knew it as სვინდაქსი, ''Suindaksi'') in the Phasiane province (Basiani, Basian, or Basean). Ultimately, the Byzantines won a decisive victory. In the aftermath of the conflict, George I of Georgia was forced to negotiate a peace treaty ending the Byzantine-Georgian wars over the succession of the domains of David III of Tao.
