In the Taman peninsula. Technically IIRC Bosporos wasn't a "kingdom" as early as the date of this find, but close enough.

A nice find - though this is a recycled story.

Google also lists 2018 as the date of the greekreporter story. Greekreporter seems to make a habit of doing this.

They do, don't they? I shall try to remember to check in the future!

Given the classical Greeks were not usually into grave goods very much, does perhaps place a question mark on the assumed ethnicity of the chap in the grave.
