This monograph by Dmitry Borisovich Shelov (1919-1993) is the second of two foundational volumes on the ancient Greek emporium of Tanais at the mouth of the River Don, constituting together the primary scholarly reference for the site. The first volume, covering the 3rd to 1st centuries BCE, appeared in 1970; the present work takes up the history of Tanais from the destruction of the city by the Bosporan king Polemon in approximately 8 BCE through the city's gradual abandonment in the 5th century CE.
Shelov was the creator of the Lower Don Archaeological Expedition (1955), the founding excavator of the Tanais Museum-Reserve, and for nearly four decades the foremost authority on the ancient history of the north-eastern Pontic littoral. His work at Tanais produced an extensive body of new material - ceramics, coins, epigraphy, funerary evidence - on which this monograph is based. The eight chapters examine in turn the archaeological and epigraphic monuments of the 1st-4th centuries CE; agriculture, crafts, and trade; commercial connections with the wider Graeco-Roman world; links with the Don and Volga basin populations; the ethnic composition of the city's mixed Greek-Sarmatian population; civic and social organization; the catastrophic Gothic sack of Tanais in the mid-3rd century CE; and the city's partial revival in the 4th-5th centuries before final abandonment. The monograph recovered numerous previously unknown facts concerning the ancient history of the south-eastern European part of the USSR, including the connections of the Don population with the Chernyakhov culture and Sarmatian tribal migrations.
Published by Nauka in 1972 with a print run of only 1,400 copies, this remains one of the canonical references for Northern Black Sea archaeology, Sarmatian studies, and Bosporan Kingdom history, consistently cited in current international scholarship on the region.
