О погребениях с конями на античном некрополе Фанагории

В статье анализируются конские захоронения, обнаруженные в 2006–2007 годах на Восточном некрополе Фанагории. По мнению автора, они могут свидетельствовать о появлении новой варварской группы в Фанагории на рубеже эпох. Это могут быть аспургиане, связанные с сарматским и меотским миром Кубани. Их появление совпало с распространением новых типов надгробных плит с рельефами, изображающими Боспорских всадников.

To the discovery of the stamped Roman mortarius in Panticapaeum: a new source about the Roman military presence on the Bosporus

The article publishes a fragment of a stamped Roman mortarius, accidentally found during construction work in Kerch (antique Panticapaeum). Inspite of all the ordinariness of the stamp, this mark is a unique find for the European Bosporus. The recorded analogies of finds in Moesia and other parts of the Northern Black Sea region (Tyra, Olbia, Chersonessus) allow us to conclude, that mortarius is associated with the presence of Roman troops on the Bosporus in the late 2nd – early 3rd centuries AD.
