Ancient Greek Inscription Unearthed in Crimea
Archaeologists in Crimea have uncovered a rare Greek inscription at the ancient settlement of Artezian, revealing traces of ritual and belief in a region once ruled by the Bosporan Kingdom.
The inscription, etched into temple plaster and concealed beneath a large stone slab, was discovered near the altar of the Zeus Genarcha temple.
Specialists say the inscription could represent a personal name, a dedication, or a ritual invocation, though its exact meaning remains uncertain.
Researchers call it an unusual find, explaining that inscriptions on wall plaster seldom survive, especially in sanctuaries.
The discovery sheds light on lost rituals of the Bosporan-era worship.
