Crimean Chersonesos was located on the geographical border where the “Classical” civilization met the “Barbaric” world. A lot of Nomadic tribes went through Crimea over time, which naturally influenced life both in the Crimea and in Chersonesos. This paper focused on which impact had the movements of these tribes on the inhabitants of Chersonesos, in particular regarding agriculture, but also its administration. Furthermore, the importance of Chersonesos for the Byzantine Empire is discussed.
