Tiberius Julius Chedosbios
Chedosbius ( el, Τιβέριος Ἰούλιος Χηδόσβιος, translit=Tiberios Ioulios Chēdosbios) was an obscure king of the Bosporan Kingdom, a Roman client state. Chedosbius is only known from a single inscription, which gives his name and titles but no date. Beyond his placement at some point during the rule of the Tiberian-Julian dynasty (8 BC – AD 341), the timespan of his reign is unknown and disputed. Identity and chronology The sole evidence of Chedosbius' existence and reign is a stele erected in Kherson. The Chedosbius stele was discovered in the form of two fragments in 1913, one fragment containing an inscription with his name and titles and another containing an image of the king wielding a sword. Whereas the letters used in the inscription are characteristic of the third and fourth centuries, the image of a king with a sword was more widespread in the first and second centuries, a period which was also characterized by this type of stele.

List Of Kings Of The Cimmerian Bosporus
The Bosporan kings were the rulers of the Bosporan Kingdom, an ancient Hellenistic Greco-Scythian state centered on the Kerch Strait (the Cimmerian Bosporus) and ruled from the city of Panticapaeum. Panticapaeum was founded in the 7th or 6th century BC; the earliest known king of the Bosporus is Archaeanax, who seized control of the city 480 BC as a usurper. The Archaeanactid dynasty ruled the city until it was displaced by the more long-lived Spartocid dynasty in 438 BC. After ruling for over three centuries, the Spartocids were then displaced by the Mithridatic dynasty of Pontus and then its offshoot the Tiberian-Julian dynasy. The Tiberian-Julian kings ruled as client kings of the Roman Empire until late antiquity. After several successive periods of rule by groups such as the Sarmatians, Alans, Goths and Huns, the remnants of the Bosporan Kingdom were finally absorbed into the Roman Empire by Justinian I in the 6th century AD.

Tiberius Julius Cotys III
Cotys III or Kotys III ( el, Τιβέριος Ἰούλιος Κότυς Γ' Φιλοκαῖσαρ Φιλορωμαῖος Eὐσεβής, ''Tiberios Iulios Kotys Philocaesar Philoromaios Eusebes'', flourished second half of 2nd century and first half of 3rd century – died 234) was a Roman client king of the Bosporan Kingdom. Like many of the other late Bosporan kings, Cotys III is known mainly from coinage, meaning that the historical events of his reign are largely unknown. His coins are known from the period 228–234. He is known from an inscription to have been the son of his predecessor, Rhescuporis III. Cotys III's coinage overlaps with the coins of Sauromates III, perhaps his brother, and Rhescuporis IV. They might thus have been co-rulers with him. His relationship to later kings is unknown, though it has been suggested that he was the father of Ininthimeus.

Tiberius Julius Ininthimeus
Ininthimeus ( el, Τιβέριος Ἰούλιος Ἰνινθίμηος, translit=Tiberios Ioulios Ininthimeos), also known as Ininthimaios, Ininthimeos or Ininthimaeus, was the king of the Bosporan Kingdom, a Roman client state, from 234 to 239. His origin and lineage are uncertain; he might have been a member of the ruling Tiberian-Julian dynasty or alternatively perhaps a foreign usurper. Inintimeus's reign was marked by large-scale construction projects for defensive structures throughout the kingdom. Biography Ininthimeus became king of the Bosporan Kingdom in 234, succeeding Cotys III and Rhescuporis IV. Although he used a different tamga (a type of seal/symbol) than his recent predecessors, it is still possible that he belonged to the same dynasty (the Tiberian-Julian dynasty). Like previous kings, Ininthimeus used the names Tiberius and Julius. It is also possible that he was a foreign usurper, perhaps of Sarmatian or Alan descent. If he was a Tiberian-Julian dynast, ...

Tiberian-Julian Dynasty
The Tiberian-Julian dynasy was the third and last dynasty of the kingdom of Cimmerian Bosporan. The members of it bare the names ''Tiberius Julius'' before their names, on behalf of the Roman Emperor Tiberius Julius. The first member of the family is Tiberius Julius Aspurgus. History The Mithridatic dynasty ruled the kingdom of Bosporus, with its last member being Dynamis. Because of the Romans, the Kingdom of Pontus was reduced to that of Bosporus (today Kerch Strait) and it was a client kingdom to Rome. Dynamis had three husbands, acting as kings. Maybe from her first husband Asander, she had a son Aspurgus, whom he accepter the Roman Senate, then Augustus and later his son Tiberius Julius. Aspurgus received the roman citizenship, and the praenomen Tiberius Julius; all his descendants keep this praenomen. He married Gepaepyris, daughter of Cotys III (Sapaean) king of Thrace and some of his descendants had thracian royal names like Cotys, Rhescouporis and Roemetalces. Gepaepyris ...

Bosporan Kingdom
The Bosporan Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus (, ''Vasíleio toú Kimmerikoú Vospórou''), was an ancient Greco-Scythian state located in eastern Crimea and the Taman Peninsula on the shores of the Cimmerian Bosporus, centered in the present-day Strait of Kerch. It was the first truly 'Hellenistic' state, in the sense that a mixed population adopted the Greek language and civilization, under aristocratic consolidated leadership. Under the Spartocid dynasty, the aristocracy of the kingdom adopted a double nature of presenting themselves as ''archons'' to Greek subjects and as kings to barbarians, which some historians consider unique in ancient history.The Bosporan Kingdom became the longest surviving Roman client kingdom. The 1st and 2nd centuries AD saw a period of a new golden age of the Bosporan state. It was briefly incorporated as part of the Roman province of Moesia Inferior from 63 to 68 AD under Emperor Nero, before being restored as a Roma ...

Tiberius Julius Theothorses
Theothorses ( el, Τιβέριος Ἰούλιος Θοθώρσης, translit=Tiberios Ioulios Thothorses), also known as Thothorses, Fophors or Fofors, was the king of the Bosporan Kingdom, a Roman client state, from 279 to 309. His reign coincided with the Crisis of the Third Century and the Tetrarchy in the Roman Empire. Like most of the late Bosporan kings, Theothorses is known only from coinage. The nature of his origin and rise to the throne is disputed; some scholars regard him to have been a member of the incumbent Bosporan Tiberian-Julian dynasty whereas others believe him to have been a barbarian warlord who usurped power. His reign appears to have seen conflict with the Roman Empire and within his kingdom and the degradation in quality of the Bosporan coinage. Origin Theothorses became king of the Bosporan Kingdom in 279, succeeding Teiranes. On account of lacking source material, the relationship between Theothorses and his predecessors is not clear.
