Despite many years of research at the site, the Roman fort at Cape Aj-Todor near Yalta remains rela- tively poorly studied. A  better understanding of the discoveries made at the site can be reached by comparing them with the results of the excavations conducted in another fort also located in Crimea – at BalaklavaKadykovka. This text is an attempt at gathering together all the published information about the discoveries made at Cape Aj-Todor. The comparison of the research results from both sites has enabled establishing numerous similarities between them. Both forts functioned simultaneously, and their architectural remains can be qualified to identically dated phases. The final effect of the analysis undertaken by the author is a more complete plan of the fort at Cape Aj-Todor along with its surroundings, processed in a new graphic formula.

Excavations of the remains of a Roman fort in Balaklava-Kadykovka (Sevastopol, Crimea) were conducted by researchers from the Institute of Archaeology, University of Warsaw, during 1997–1999, 2003, and 2009–2013. Various data were obtained concerning both the space within the fortification and outside it. Observation carried out on site also enriched our knowledge as to the chronology of Roman military presence in Taurica. The results of the excavations brought new perspective on the seemingly well-known Roman fort on the Aj-Todor Cape near Yalta (usually identified with Ptolemy’s Charax). The forts in Balaklava-Kadykovka and on the Aj-Todor Cape were constructed by the Roman army in uninhabited areas within the Barbaricum territory. In both cases various information is available regarding the findings from beyond the walls. The analysis of these data enables a partial reconstruction of the land management in the vicinity of the forts.
