Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis and reconstruction of the nature and forms of relations between the peripheral regions of Eastern Europe and ancient centers in the II century B.C. – the first centuries A.D. Within the framework of the stated problem, the issues related to the relationship of the Roman Empire with the nomadic tribes of the steppe belt of Eurasia remain the least studied. One of the most important issues is the understanding of how and how imported Roman and Byzantine goods produced in Italy came outside, into areas that were not directly linked to ancient centres, such as the Don’s and Kuban areas. The set of import items presented in the article is very diverse and includes both imported mass-produced products and luxury goods. The study confirms the hypothesis that the peak of the inflow of imported goods and coins of Roman production falls on the I-II cc. A.D., the period of the most active contacts between the barbarians and the Roman Empire, largely due to the stabilization of the political situation in the steppe zone. Thus, it can be stated that in the development of Roman-barbaric relations up to the middle of the III c. A.D. contacts show a tendency of slow but continuous growth.
Keywords: international trade, Volga-Kamye, nomads, luxury goods, imported items, coins, ancient centers, Byzantium, Rome.
