In this article the author presents a very rare find from the 1894 excavations of the so-called Lion Tumulus near Kerch. It is a huge marble statue of a lion, which is shown leaning on the head of a bull supported by its left paw. The Lion Tumulus is dated by an inscription to AD 14/15 and can be classified as a Royal tomb. Perhaps a rival of the Bosporan King Aspurgus in the struggle for the throne was buried there.

W prezentowanym studium autor analizuje znalezisko, dokonane w 1894 r. w trakcie wykopalisk na Lwim Kurhanie koło Kerczu. Odkryto tam marmurową rzeźbę lwa, opierającego łapę na głowie byka. Grobowiec, datowany jest, na podstawie znalezionej inskrypcji, na 14/15 r. n.e. Uznano go za grobowiec królewski. Możliwe, że pochowano w nim rywala króla Bosporu Aspurgosa.
