The ancient city of Chersonesos, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, has been a deliberately well-kept secret for most of the last century. The purpose of this book is to introduce to a worldwide audience this remarkable site. In the ancient and medieval worlds Chersonesos, as a Greek colony and Roman and Byzantine outpost, was the furthest and most important point of contact between Mediterranean civilization and the vast Eurasian continent, influencing the political as well as the artistic development of barbarian worlds and, in turn, being influenced by them. It was the portal and major link between the civilization of Byzantium and the still pagan Rus', the very place from which Orthodox Christianity spread to the eastern Slavic world.
