XXVI Limes Congress

The Limes Congress is all about the border of the Roman Empire in all its facets. In 2024 is will be held in Batumi, Georgia.

Georgia is a country in Transcaucasia located on the south-eastern coast of the Black Sea, with its capital in Tbilisi. The country is situated at the junction of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is bordered to the south by Armenia, to the south-east by Azerbaijan, to the north and east by Russia and to the south-west by Turkey. Georgia’s mountainous lands lie between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Mountains.

Batumi, the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara and Georgia’s second largest city, is located on the Black Sea coast in the south-western part of the country. It is likely that a Greek emporium bearing the name ‘Bathus’ or ‘Bathys’ was located here in ancient times.

Batumi combines old and new architecture. Streets lead between historic houses and modern buildings, centres of culture and art as well as hotels, where international conferences and business meetings take place. The city is bustling with life, the streets overflowing with restaurants with delicious food and wine, cosy cafes with strong, tasty coffee and viewpoints such as the Alphabetic Tower, which offers views of the rooftops of the city centre, the mountains, and the sea.

The Shota Rustaveli State University in Batumi is one of the leading institutions of higher education. It has a conference hall and numerous lecture theatres equipped with multimedia equipment.
