Tyritake

Tyritake

Tyritáke ( _el. Τυριτακε) was an ancient Greek town of the Bosporan Kingdom, situated in the eastern part of Crimea, immediately to the south from Panticapaeum. It is tentatively identified with the ruins in the Kerch district of Kamysh-Burun (Arshintsevo), on the shore of the Cimmerian Bosporus. Excavations, started in 1932, established that the colony, founded in the mid-6th century BC, specialized in crafts and viticulture. In the first centuries AD, fishing became the economical mainstay of the town. Tyritake was sacked by the Huns in the 4th century AD, but a settlement on the site continued into the Middle Ages.
