ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Scythian Neapolis was the capital of the Scythian Kingdom in the 2nd and 1st c. BC. The city was founded circa 180 BC, but thrived after 140 BC, when the first palace was built. From 130 BC until the destruction brought about by the forces of the Kingdom of Pontus in 111 BC, the Scythian Kingdom was based in Neapolis. In later times it became an insignificant small town and was abandoned in the early or just before the middle of the 3rd c. AD. |
