Abstract
The article examines the strategy of Julian in the Northern Black Sea Region. According to the author, the improvement of Goths-Roman relations at this time should be considered in the context of the Emperor’s changing attitude towards the Bosporan Kingdom. The Bosporus restoring independence in evitably led to an attempt to recreate the eastern part of the buffer zone in the Northern Black Sea Region, where once again the key city ought to be Tanais. This, in its turn, implies the strengthening of the western section of the buffer zone as well (archaeological refl ection of which was the construction of fortresses on the Dnieperborder line of the Gothicarea).Thus, this strategy was the main reason for the simultaneousim provement of the relations both with the Goths, and with the Bosporus. Moreover, it is necessary to associate the appearance of the Hunsin the Northern Black Sea Region with this period. The new nomads from the east became a key link in the restored fi rst defense belt of the buffer zone by the Emperor in the region. At the same time, by the orders of the Roman commanders, the Huns, freeing from the Alani in fl uence in the Lower Don, relied on the alliance with the Sarmatians (who had recently become the Alani-Tanaiti),whose representatives more than once had occupied the Bosporan throne. In many respects it became possible thanks to the fact that the Sarmato-Iranian clan brought their pedigree to the Sarmatian kings of the 1stcentury BC Pharzoyand Ininthimeus. There was a certain number of Asian Hunsor their descendants in their entourage.
Thus, in a short time of Julian rule, the layered buffer zone was restored, cutting off barbarians of the Alan tribal union all possible way stowards the Roman borders.
