Борьба кланов в Ольвии IV—III вв. до н. э.
The Struggle of the Clans in Olbia of the 4th—3rd Centuries BC

Summary/Abstract: The synchronization of the Olbia eponym catalog IPE I2 201 and the beginning of prosopography are a common platform for revising of the dating of the epigraphic sources and the prosopographic interpretation of historical events. A group of inscriptions suggest a predominantly oligarchic character of democracy in Olbia of the 4th—3rd centuries BC. A hypothesis about the long-term struggle between the most powerful clans of Dionysius and Aristocratids is proposed. The main chronological milestones of the clans’ struggle: 380s, 260s and 240—230 BC. The struggle was accompanied by oligarchic upheavals, exiles, damnatio memoriae of lapidary inscriptions, and, possibly, also by latent forms.
