The long background in historiography is a remarkable cultural characteristic of Armenians and Georgians in ancient times. Hundreds of years of living between the Armenian and Georgian peoples together contributed to the harmony of some of their historiography features. On the other hand, the differences in government practices in some historical periods also contributed to differences in some of their historiography features. This paper examines the similarities and differences in the style of writing these historiography by using the ancient sources of the Caucasian history as well as the new researches in this regard, by comparative study of some features of Armenian and Georgian historiography. The similarities between Armenian and Georgian historiography in the ancient period have been revealed in issues such as the use of the Old Testament traditions and the generalization of Parthian descent to nonpartisan rulers, while the difference between these two histories is in the way of utilizing Iranian national narratives.
