Keywords: Bessi; Ibida; mining
Summary/Abstract: The author investigates the reasons behind the Bessi’s presence at Ibida (Moesia Inferior). One person, Durisses Bithi, is also attested at Istros. Taking into account the mining skills of the Bessi, mentioned by literary sources and confirmed by archaeological and geological researches, it is probable that their presence at Ibida is due to economic reasons, if we notice the iron and copper resources from Altân Tepe.
