I have two question to ask dealing with the extent of Roman territory.<br>
<br>
1) I have seen an extract of an inscription (unkown which one but from Harmozica, Tiflis) that read's Vespasian & Sons "Fortified these wall for Mithridates, King of the Iberians ... friend of the Romans". Is there anymore info on this inscription and was this only a once off thing or did the Roman's have a garrison in the area to protect against the Alani.<br>
<br>
2) Was the tauric bosphorus ever part of the Roman Empire. Some maps include the area just above the Black Sea and others do not. Which is correct.<br>
<br>
Any reply wold be appreciated. <p></p><i></i>
