This Article examines the question of dating the
building inscription of the last famous king of the Bosporus
in the late antique period — Tiberius Julius
Duptun. The inscription contains a lacuna which
suggests that the term “indict” was in its place, which allows us to
completely rethink the time of its writing —
after all, dating by indicts began to be carried out from the 6th
century. Similarly doubtful is the well-established in the epigraphy sending
of the inscription to October and the interpretation of numerical characters.
According to our hypothesis, this building inscription dates back to the
beginning of the VI century, was made in September at the beginning of the
indict, and its Christian and pro-imperial character reflects the policy of
emperor Anastasius I for peaceful integration into
the empire of the Bosporus state, with which cultural ties intensified. This
is indirectly confirmed in the written sources of this period.
