Archaeanactid dynasty

The Archaeanactids (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχαιανακτίδαι) were presumably a Greek dynasty of the Kingdom of Bosporus that ruled in 480–438 BC.

The presumed founder, Archaeanax, was probably a strategos of a league of city-states^[1] in the Cimmerian Bosporus, likely formed as a defense against foreign threats. After taking power, Archaeanax caused the cities of Theodosia and Nymphaeum to withdraw from the league.^[2] Throughout their reign, Panticapaeum and her surrounding cities had an age of economic growth as well as the construction of new temples and replanning of all city parts.^[3] They were later succeeded by a hellenized family of Thracians, called the Spartocids.^[4]
