The Bosporan Kingdom

Interdisciplinary conference in cooperation with the Danish National Research Foundation's Centre for Black Sea Studies

The Bosporan Kingdom was one of the longest surviving territorial states in antiquity. Though dramatic changes occurred from the early fifth century BC to the late Roman period and despite strong pressures from outside as well as inside the kingdom, the central authority managed, with few interruptions, to retain control over the core areas around the Kimmerian Bosporos and at times expand its sphere of influence to much of the northeastern part of the Black Sea.

The conference will cover the whole period of the kingdoms existence but the main emphasis will be on the formative period and the Roman period, as these are the least documented and where new insights into the functioning of the state are likely to be obtained.
