The Bosporan Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus (Ancient Greek: Βασιλεία τοῦ Κιμμερικοῦ Βοσπόρου, romanized: Basileía tou Kimmerikou Bospórou; Latin: Regnum Bospori), was an ancient Greco-Scythian state located in eastern Crimea and the Taman Peninsula on the shores of the Cimmerian Bosporus, centered in the present-day Strait of Kerch.
The original homeland of the Cimmerians before they migrated into West Asia was in the steppe situated to the north of the Caspian Sea and to the west of the Araxēs (Volga) river until the Cimmerian Bosporus (the Ketch Strait) and some Cimmerians might have nomadised in the Kuban steppe; the Cimmerians thus originally lived in the Caspian and ...

In Pannonia they constructed a city called Sicambria.
In the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, a significant movement of the nomads of the Eurasian steppe brought the Scythians into Southwest Asia. According to Herodotus, this movement started when the Massagetae [5] or the Issedones [6] migrated westwards, forcing the Scythians to the west across the Araxes [7] and into the Caspian Steppe, [6] [5] from where they displaced the Cimmerians.
The arrival of the Scythians and their establishment in this region in the 7th century BC [28] corresponded to a disturbance of the development of Chernogorovka-Novocherkassk complex, [23] which was thus replaced through a continuous process [29] over the course of c. 750 to c. 600 BC by the early Scythian culture in southern Europe, which itself nevertheless still showed links to the ...
