393 BCE to 382 BCE

Theodosia (modern Feodosiya) is situated on the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula on the western shores of Feodosiya Bay.

Originally called Ardabda by its natives, terra cottas show it to have been inhabited in the sixth century BCE, but it is first heard of in history as resisting the attacks of Satyrus, ruler of the Bosporan kingdom, or Cimmerian Bosporus, about 390 BCE.

His successor Leukon, who succeeds to the throne in 387 BCE, transforms it into a great port for shipping wheat to Greece, especially to Athens.
