Abstract
The paper summarizes the results of the work on the project for the publication of the amphorae collections of Russian museums. For eight years, the collections of the Crimean museums (Kerch, Chersonesus, Evpatoria, Feodosia, Yalta, the Taurida Museum and the “Kalos Limen” Museum-Reserve), the State Hermitage Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and the Krasnodar Museum were processed. Over the years, six museum catalogues have been published, a unique online database “Greek Amphorae from the Northern Pontus Euxinus (7th – 2nd Centuries BC) – APE” has been created (ape.sgu.ru). In total, 1544 amphorae and 217 complexes containing two or more amphorae and other antique imports have been published and put into scientific circulation to date. Work is actively continuing on the publication of collections of Crimean museums, the publication of the collection of the Yalta Historical and Literary Museum is planned for 2023.
