SUMMARY
During the 6th and 5th cent. BC Greek settlements were founded in the Kerch peninsula (Panticapaeum, Nymphaeum, Tyritake, Myrmekion, Cimmericon, Porthmion), which quickly evolved into centres of agricultural production and export. These settlements soon acquired great financial power, as indicated by the archaeological record, notwithstanding some rather sketchy, in places, excavations. |
