Who is depicted in the ancient relic? The Bosporan Kingdom was a client state of the Roman Empire. It endured longer than all others, briefly becoming a province under Emperor Nero's rule. Situated in Crimea, on the shores of Cimmerian Bosporus, its thriving territory originated as a Greek colony. A significant amount of archaeological evidence has been uncovered there since then, including gold craftsmanship, imported goods, and textile fragments. The remnants of Panticapaeum city still stand today, despite being hit by an earthquake in 70 BC and sacked by the Huns in AD 370. This is largely due to a revival during the Roman period that saw these great cities protected and incorporated into new fortresses. What are the technical specifications about the statue? A stele is a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide, erected as a monument in ancient Western culture for funerary or commemorative purposes. Stelae may also be used as slabs of stone to display government notices or territorial markers to mark borders or delineate land ownership. The surface of the stele often features text and/or ornamentation. Ornamentation may be inscribed, carved in relief, or painted onto the slab. Traditional Western gravestones can be considered modern equivalents of ancient stelae, though this term is rarely applied in this way. Who created the artist? We cannot determine who created this stele, as it is extremely old and lacks a signature to identify its creator.
