Does anyone know when Roman troops finally left the Bosporan Kingdom?<br>
<br>
I saw recently that www.hostkingdom.net/crimea.html dates the<br>
Roman evacuation to AD 338, but I don't know why. I'd be grateful if anyone could let me know what the source for that date might be, and how reliable it is.<br>
<br>
A paper summarised at www.bilkent.edu.tr/~arkeo...onday2.htm suggests that a garrison was re-installed somewhen around the end of the 3rd century, and I presume this might be the force that was allegedly withdrawn in 338. <p></p><i></i>
