Taurica was inhabited by a variety of peoples. The inland 
regions were inhabited by Scythians and the mountainous south 
coast by the Taures, an offshoot of the Cimmerians. Greek 
settlers inhabited a number of colonies along the coast of the 
peninsula, notably the city of Chersonesos near modern 
Sevastopol. In the 2nd century BC eastern part of Taurica 
became part of the Bosporan Kingdom, before being incorporated 
into the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC.
