Abstract
Having entered the sphere of influence of Rome, the Bosporan Kingdom began to experience a certain influence from the Empire. In the first centuries a. d. the Roman Empire continued to strengthen its borders, including the Northern Black Sea. Bosporus Kingdom differed from other cities in the region by several criteria: territory, form of government, composition of the population. The Romans needed an ally who would keep the situation on the Northern Black Sea coast under control and act in Roman interests. During the study of archaeological finds found on the territory of the estate of the first centuries a. d., excavated in 2008–2009, it were found that the Romans had a great influence on the aristocracy of the Bosporan Kingdom. The estate consists of three attached to each other rooms and the adjacent scaffolding. Archaeological material found during the excavations tells us that the inhabitants of this building were rich, and belonged to the aristocratic layer of Bosporus. The findings of fragments of marble cladding and red-lacquer ceramics, as well as the presence of the courtyard indicate that the Romans had a significant impact on the aristocracy of the Bosporan Kingdom.
