Roman evacuation of the Bosporan Kingdom

[Anonymous]

Thanks, chaps. Part of the problem is that Chersonesos, and the south coast of the Crimea in general, isn't actually part of the Bosporan kingdom, so it's not always exactly clear what regions modern references apply to. I've just found www.da-costa.net/memoire/ - studies (in French) on the Roman military presence in the Black Sea - which mentions a war in 290-2, an alliance of Chersonesos and Rome against the Bosporan Kingdom; there is an inscription showing that Chersonesos still had a Roman garrison in 488, by which time the Bosporan Kingdom has disappeared.<br>

Hmm. Still trying to straighten all this out... <p></p><i></i>
