The article discusses a helmet found in 1968 in a mountainous village of Yarysh-Mardy situated on the river Argun in the north-eastern Caucasus. The helmet was often associated with the Golden Horde period, which according to the author seems highly unlikely. On the basis of a detailed comparative analysis, the author puts forward a thesis of dating the object to either the late-Sasanid or early-Islamic period, i.e. to late 6th - beginning of 8th c. AD. Specifically, it is suggested that the appearance of the helmet in the Caucasus may be attributed to the time of Byzantine-Sasanid conflicts taking place at the turn of 6th and 7th c. AD. Additionally, the article argues that in the late Sasanid period a new sub-type of helmets came into existence, namely the ones with straight spangs and ones with spiky rivets. Furthermore, it is proposed that the Yarysh-Mardy helmet bears certain correspondences to similar finds from Groningen and Bremen.

Crimean Chersonesos was located on the geographical border where the “Classical” civilization met the “Barbaric” world. A lot of Nomadic tribes went through Crimea over time, which naturally influenced life both in the Crimea and in Chersonesos. This paper focused on which impact had the movements of these tribes on the inhabitants of Chersonesos, in particular regarding agriculture, but also its administration. Furthermore, the importance of Chersonesos for the Byzantine Empire is discussed.

The problem of relations with the nomadic peoples of the Black Sea steppes is one of the most important issues in Byzantine history. The medieval Greek-speaking Romans inherited this undisputed trouble from their ancient ancestors and had to deal with it until the end of the Empire. It is usually assumed that the long experience of contacts with steppe-dwellers meant that the Byzantine political elite gained a deep and multi-faceted knowledge of them. This study is an attempt at rethinking the communis opinio according to which precise and updated data had to be used by the Constantinopolitan diplomacy in relations with the nomadic partners. What I aim to prove, based on the material of written sources from between the 10th and 12th centuries, is that such opinions appear to have been scholarly superstitions.

Problem relacji z ludami koczowniczymi stepów czarnomorskich należy do najważniejszych zagadnień historii Bizancjum. Średniowieczni greckojęzyczni Rzymianie odziedziczyli ten niewątpliwy kłopot po swych antycznych przodkach i musieli borykać się z nim po kres istnienia imperium. Przyjmuje się zwykle, że długie doświadczenie kontaktów ze stepowcami sprawiło, że bizantyńska elita polityczna pozyskała głęboką i wieloaspektową wiedzą na ich temat. Celem niniejszego stadium jest ponowne przemyślenie communis opinio, według której precyzyjne i zaktualizowane dane miały być wykorzystywane przez dyplomację konstantynopolitańską w relacjach z koczowniczymi partnerami. W oparciu o materiał źródeł pisanych z X-XII wieku zamierzam dowieść, że tego rodzaju poglądy wydają się naukowymi przesądami.
