Abstract
The population of seaside cities and internal continental settlements in the
Bosporsky kingdom was mixed from its earliest days. A polyethnic culture is
noted in all historical periods of existence of the kingdom. Gravestones confirm
that during the Hellenistic period, the population was more Greek-sindomeotskim. The period from 1st century BCE to 4th century CE is marked by an
active Sarmatization, which was especially strong from 1st century BCE to 2nd
century CE.
Steles, which were found out in Bospore in considerable quantity (though,
unfortunately, in secondary use), expressed religious Judaic symbols and show
presence of one more ethnic group - the Jews.
Sarmatian patrimonial signs, tamgy, were placed in the back of Bospor Judaic
gravestone steles. They represented a varying combination or an interlacing of
lines, circles and other geometrical figures. The newest finds from Fanagoriy and Vishesteblievskaya-11 allow to date the tamgy on the gravestones found in the
1860s by A. E. Ljutsenko and V. G. Tizengauzenom and therefore to unite both
collections.
In total, over 30 Judaic gravestone stelas with tamgy were found on the
Bospor Asian side. This is almost a third of known Judaic gravestones (hardly
more than 100). The archeology only confirms the polyethnic structure of the
population in the polises, and the presence of religious syncretism.
