Rostovtzeff M. Iranians and Greeks in South Russia

Oxford: At The Clarendon Press, 1922. — 260 p."This book is not intended to compete with the valuable and learned book of Ellis H. Minns on the same subject. Our aims are different... Minns' book will remain for decades the chief source of information about South Russia both for Russian and for non-Russian scholars... My own aim is different. In my short exposition I have tried to give a history of the South Russian lands in the prehistoric, the protohistoric, and the classic periods down to the epoch of the migrations. By history I mean not a repetition of the scanty evidence preserved by the classical writers and illustrated by the archaeological material but an attempt to define the part played by South Russia in the history of the world in general, and to emphasize the contributions of South Russia to the civilization of mankind.
In doing so I was obliged to use every kind of material, especially the rich archaeological evidence furnished by the South Russian excavations. Notwithstanding this dominant use of archaeological material, my book is not a handbook of South Russian archaeology, nor is it an investigation of one section in the history of Oriental and classical art. I have tried to write history, using the archaeological evidence in the same way as I should use, and have used, in this book written documents or literary sources."Introductory.
