In addition to the invincible Scythians, another great kingdom flourished on our territory in ancient times - the Black Sea power of Mithridates VI Eupator (after whom the mountain in Kerch and the city of Evpatoria are named), and in our veins flows the blood of heroes who two thousand years ago rose up against the Roman Republic of Evil. A brave warrior and a great ruler, a talented commander and a competent administrator (who knew 22 languages and was able to communicate with any of his subjects in his dialect), King Mithridates hated the Roman conquerors from his youth, fought against this wolf tribe all his life and fell in an unequal struggle. “Glorious in valor, always great in spirit, a leader in plans, a warrior in battle, and Hannibal in hatred of the Romans,” even his sworn enemies spoke of him. “It took four years to defeat Pyrrhus, the war with Hannibal lasted thirteen years, but Mithridates resisted for more than forty...” This book is a tribute to the blessed memory of our distant ancestors, who dared to challenge predatory Rome and more than once defeated the “invincible” legions.
