Most likely, yes, Crimea was one of the Roman's source of wheat. They bought wheat (and wine too). Officially Crimea (and Feodosia) never formed a part of Roman Empire but there was an agreement between some Crimea city states and Rome to defend Roman borders against numerous nomads. Nevertheless, these states were under the Roman power and couldn't be independance in spite of the fact that this region never had the status of Roman province. I added some pictures in my gallery, not Feodosia but Panticapey, it's other city state in Crimea.

Oh, yeah, it's a good theme for discussion. Heinrich Schliemann was not the most famous archaeologist of his day, though he was famous. Neither was he the most skilled. He rarely followed good archaeological procedures at his excavations and was roundly criticized by later archaeologists. He wasn't even the most scrupulous of those in his profession, something confirmed by his illegal smuggling of a priceless historic treasure out of the country of Turkey. He was, however, perhaps the luckiest archaeologist of all time. I saw the "Priam's treasure" because it's kept in Moscow in The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts (the collection was took out from Berlin in 1945 and was showed only in 1996 first time!). There is a opinion that Schlimann's digs were poor vandalism, he destroyed the culture lays of many civilizations which were on this place including Homer's Troy. What were the lays of ancient Troy? 1. Maritime culture, Aegaean, Cycladic: Troy I, 2920-2480/20 BC 2. Troy II, 2600-2480/20 BC, most wealthy, treasure from this period found by Heinrich Schliemann 3. Troy III 2480/20-2300 BC 4. Anatolian culture: Troy IV, 2200-1900 BC 5. Troy V, 1900-1750 BC Highest culture of Troy / Wilusa / (W)ilios / Ilios / Ilion / Ilium, vassal of Hattusas 6. Troy VI, 1700-1250/30 BC, destroyd by an earthquake between 1250 and 1230 BC 7. Troy VIIa, 1250/30-1180 BC, Hattusas fell around 1200 BC, stormed by Thracians, Troy VIIa burnt in 1183 BC 8. Balcanian culture: Troy VIIb1-b3, 1180-1000 BC or later; then partly or completely left until around 750 BC I'm sure Schliemann was discourteous with history and archaeology. He found a treasure but it was not Priam's treasure (it's not so mean, his finds were great) He falsified his finds and destroyed many lays of ancient cultures in a rush for wealth and glory. He has a flair to finds but he was the greatest adventurer...

Well, I'm not Irish, but I'm Catholic. There was a big celebration St. Patrick Day in Moscow. St Patrick was born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387 CE

I hope I'm not very late. I would like to clarify a matter (something ) There is an opinion that the Celts spoke a common Celtic language. Celtic scholars have supposed this common Celtic may have been spoken just before the start of the first millennium BC. during the Urnfield/Hallstatt eras. Soon after, five(?) distinct dialects emerged which may be subdivided as follows: Hispano-Celtic (now obsolete) Gallic (now obsolete) Lepontic (now obsolete). Lepontic was a speech-form spoken in Northern Italy around the time of Christ, attested by a handful of short inscriptions in a form of the Etruscan alphabet. Goidelic or

Gratuliere zum Geburtstag, Viggen! Ich bitte recht sehr um Verzeihung. Besser sp

Happy birthday! Sorry, I'm late but I was away some days! Wish you well!

I wrote just now a work about Celtic society for my University and I collected a mount information about Celts including some methods of their burials. Well, the most part of Britain, Ireland and North Europe was covered by bogs, people lived near bogs, cross the bogs, build the roads throw bogs. They knew that bogs are the great place that can safe their dead bodies too. The bogs were the place of burials for many Celtic people. They preferred to draw down in the bogs dead bodies. Such was indeed the case. There were very different bodies: men, women, and children. They were in different clothes and they could have some wounds or have not them, because the true reasons of their deaths were different of course. I couldn

O'k! I visited this clinic this week and had got some consultations. I have different opinions about this clinic but all people who told me about it said that laser surgery is good here and I must not worry about it. My operation will be the 28 of February. I'm sure about a good result for me.

lol, Flavius! I'm a professional racer. Cops never stoped me before but I always have my race license for such case.
