Item's Code: XR-1913 ABOUT: Very rare and unique, limited edition, 1962, illustrated, archaeological book on the ancient Greek city of Panticapaeum. Excavations at Panticapaeum took place from 1945-1949 and 1952-1955, and were conducted by the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the Kerch Historical and Archaeological Museum and a number of other institutions. The excavations gave abundant and diverse archaeological materials which helped illuminate a number of issues related to the history of this city, and at the same time allowed to lift the veil over the "Cimmerian darkness", which covers the ancient period of this Greek colony. -------------------------------------------------- Раскопки Пантикапея 1945-1949 и 1952-1955 гг., проведенные Институтом истории материальной культуры АН СССР, Керченского историко-археологического музея и ряда других учреждений, дали обильные и разнообразные археологические материалы, позволяющие осветить ряд вопросов, связанных с историей боспорской столицы, и вместе с тем позволили до некоторой степени приподнять завесу над тем "киммерийским мраком", который еще в значительной мере покрывает древнейший период истории этого края. * (see Terms below)- We operate our business from our 2 locations (main one in Pasadena, CA, USA & the 2nd one in overseas), thus, based on the item's availability and/or buyer's location (country), your purchased item will be shipped from either of our offices/storage.

VISIT OUR EBAY STORE AGAIN- SINCE WE ADD NEW BOOKS & OTHER ITEMS REGULARLY ADDITIONAL INFO Panticapaeum (Ancient Greek: παντικάπαιον, translit. Pantikápaion, Russian: Пантикапей, translit. Pantikapei) was an ancient Greek city on the eastern shore of Crimea, which the Greeks called Taurica. The city was built on Mount Mithridat, a hill on the western side of the Cimmerian Bosporus. It was founded by Milesians in the late 7th or early 6th century BC. The ruins of the site are now located in the modern city Kerch. -------------------------------------------------- Пантикапей (др.-греч. παντικάπαιον, лат. Panticapaeon, от таврского (индоарийского) *panti-kapa- 'холм у пролива (пути?)' или др.-иран. *panti-kapa- «рыбный путь») — древнегреческий город, основанный в конце VII века до н. э. выходцами из Милета на месте современной Керчи; в пору расцвета занимал около 100 га. Акрополь располагался на горе, называемой сегодня Митридат. Главным божеством-покровителем Пантикапея с основания поселения являлся Аполлон, ему был посвящён главный храм акрополя. Сооружение древнейшего и грандиознейшего по меркам Северного Причерноморья здания храма Аполлона Иетра было завершено к концу VI в. до н. э. Кроме того, позднее рядом с дворцом Спартокидов находился храм в честь Афродиты и Диониса. Город со временем был опоясан мощной системой каменных укреплений, превосходящей афинскую. В окрестностях города находился некрополь, отличавшийся от некрополей других эллинских городов. Помимо обычных в то время для эллинов грунтовых погребений некрополь Пантикапея состоял из цепи курганов, протянувшихся вдоль дорог от города в степь. С южной стороны город окаймляет наиболее значительная гряда курганов, именуемая сегодня Юз-Оба — сто холмов. Под их насыпями погребены представители варварской знати — скифские вожди, осуществлявшие военно-политический протекторат над городом. Курганы и сейчас составляют одну из главных достопримечательностей окрестностей Керчи. Наиболее популярны курганы Куль-Оба, Мелек-Чесменский, Золотой и особенно Царский. В Российской Федерации, контролирующей спорную территорию Крыма, является объектом культурного наследия федерального значения, на Украине — памятником культурного наследия национального значения.
