In his New History, Zosimus narrates that some time before 324, Sarmatian warriors led by king Rausimod and coming from an area near the Sea of Azov, had crossed the Danube and laid waste to Roman territory before being pursued by Constantine and utterly destroyed on barbarian soil. I argue that their home was probably the Bosporan kingdom, which was then largely Sarmatian in its culture, and that the province which suffered from their incursion was Scythia minor, and not Moesia or even Pannonia, as scholarly accounts tend to claim. Other Sarmatian attacks on the Danubian frontier, recorded by the poet Optatianus, and a Gothic invasion, mentioned by the Origo Constantini imperatoris, were in all probability different events and should not be conflated with Rausimod’s Sarmatian invasion, although the king himself may have been a Goth or a Sarmatian with a Gothic name. The year of both invasions seems to be 323, the Gothic invasion preceding the Sarmatian one. On the verge of the civil war, Constantine encroached upon Licinius’ territory to destroy Rausimod, to defy Licinius, and to show the world that he was now in control of the whole Danubian frontier.

It is a moot point whether the Greeks would have developed myths about Amazons even if they had never heard about female warriors. Be that as it may, their mythical Amazons fulfill several ideological functions. The most important of those is probably to represent an unnatural menace which has been successfully defeated by the Greeks. However, there is no denying that from the late sixth century onwards the Greek depiction of Amazons, on vases or in writing, has often (but not always) been influenced by their knowledge of Sarmatian mounted archeresses, at least some of whom were almost certainly also warriors. Yet it is naive to say that the Greeks were right all the time, that Amazons did exist and that they had a wonderful time killing enemies and living a life characterised by companionship, fulfilled sexuality and gender equalitiy. The Amazons constructed by Adrienne Mayor resemble the heroines of Klingon legend told by Klingons in the Star Trek spin offs.

This work discusses the issue of bracelets occurring in the Sarmatian period in the Crimea, known in archaeological literature as “bracelets with globular, conical, or pineal-shaped endings”. Basing on a group of 57 artefacts from Late Scythian and Sarmatian necropolises, as well as those dated to the Late Roman period, a typological classification of the items has been made. At the same time, on the basis of the chronological analysis of sets containing bracelets belonging to the discussed type, data allowing us to determine their chronological range have been obtained. The question of the provenance of such items, the issue of their occurrences in graves (taking into account the sexes of the buried persons), as well as the methods of wearing them, have been discussed.

The article tackles the question of the “canine burials” from the northern Black Sea coast area in the light of materials from the Neyzats cemetery (Belogorsky Raion, Crimean peninsula) dated from the 2nd to the 4th century AD. In this necropolis, 22 dog remains have been discovered in 20 archaeological features (in pit, undercut, and vaulted graves, as well as in pits). These burials are divided into three basic groups: independent canine burials, burials of dogs with other animals, and canine burials clearly associated with human graves. Each of the types is discussed in detail in the context of its broad cultural background. The analyzed material also makes it possible to attempt to explain the genesis of such burials and to interpret their meaning.

The Slavs’ homeland was in the Black Sea forest steppe. The Slavs neighboured the Iranian peoples from the south and the Balts from the north. The characteristic features of the Slavs’ culture, mainly material culture, were shaped in the third and fourth centuries AD, when the dominance of the Sarmatians over the Slavs ended as a consequence when the Goths ravaged the coasts of the Black See.
