Scythia Minor (Dobruja)

The territory of the Scythian kingdom on the lower Danube stretched from Tyras or even Pontic Olbia in the north to Odessus in the south.

[3][2][1] The Scythia Minor of the lower Danube existed until the 1st century BCE, and its territory stretched from Turas or even Olbia Pontikē in the north to Odēssos in the south, and coins are known of several of their kings, namely Kanitos, Tanusakos, Kharaspos, Ailios, Sariakos, and Akrosakos.

The relative chronology of these rulers has been debated for the better part of two centuries, but has recently (as of 2023) been established through close attention to all the available evidence and scholarship by numismatists Stolyarik and Kleeberg.

[4] Like the Crimean Scythia Minor, the Scythian kingdom in the lower Danube region was destroyed by the Pontic king Mithradatēs VI Eupatōr, although its population continued to exist.

[1][2] In 62 BCE the lower Danube Scythians fought a battle against the Roman general Gaius Antonius Hybrida at Histriē.
