The article,
based on the analysis of epigraphic monuments, narrative sources,
archaeological artifacts, deals with the presence of the military forces of
the Roman Empire in the Northern Black Sea at the end of III—V centuries CE;
the participation of the Roman Vexillatio in
Bosporus-Chersonesus wars in Taurica
is modelled; the cause of their formation is found
out on the basis of parts of the protection of the Danube border; the hypothesis
of the dislocation of the mobile artillery legion Balistarii
Seniores in Tauric
Chersonese is proved. Under the conditions of permanent aggravation of the
military-political situation in the region at the end of III—V centuries the vexillationes of the I Italian, II Herñulius, XI Claudius
legions, of the unit equitum Dalmatarum,
of the mobile legion Balistarii Seniores
reliably protected Tauric Chersonese and provided
strategic interests of the Empire in the Northern Black Sea Coast. |
