Some elements of material culture from the burials of the nobility of the Cimmerian Bosporus are examined, which testify to the presence of the Goths on the Cimmerian Bosporus at the beginning of the Great Migration Period. In the Cimmerian Bosporus, already in the late Roman time, East German things found in the layers of settlements and in the burials of the local population - brooches, pendants, ridges, and ceramics are well represented. The optimal date for German things in the Cimmerian Bosporus is 300 / 320 – 400 / 410. It should be noted that German things begin to fall into the burials of the higher Bosporus nobility. At the same time, German prestigious things come from crypts, without a doubt belonging to the local, «Greco-Sarmatian» funerary tradition. Therefore, it can be argued that, on the one hand, the Germans were integrated into the local aristocratic environment, and on the other, that this local aristocracy retained its social positions in the era of the migration of peoples. It can be assumed that in the middle of the 4th century the Goths seized power on the Cimmerian Bosporus, as written sources indirectly testify to.
