摘要

In this paper, the authors studied the traces of destruction in the fortress walls and houses of the Bosporan city of Kytaia. The study of this city has been ongoing since 1970. Over the past time, numerous damages have been identified at different sites of the ancient settlement. In the article, an attempt is made to compare some of them with the results of earthquakes on the Bosporus, about which the data of ancient authors were preserved.
