Tanais, Archaeological site in Rostov region, Russia
The excavation site spans 1200 hectares at the mouth of the Don River, revealing ancient structures, fortifications, and numerous artifacts from different periods.
Greek merchants from Miletus established this trading center in the 3rd century BC, connecting the Mediterranean world with nomadic populations of the Eurasian steppes.
The archaeological reserve contains remains of Greek, Roman, and Sarmatian settlements, demonstrating the mixing of civilizations through architecture and everyday objects.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, featuring an open-air exhibition of reconstructed buildings and Europe's only public amphora collection.
Genetic analyses of skeletal remains found at Tanais reveal connections to haplogroup R1a, providing information about ancient population movements in the region.
