[gothic-l] Runes

[Сергей Черныш]

 :think: There was a problem with link (http://mogilnik.narod.ru/Stella.htm). But now it is fixed. 
Hello 
I would like to draw your attention to limestone slab with runic inscription 
(http://mogilnik.narod.ru/Stella.htm). It was found by South-Bosporian 
expedition of the Crimean branch of Institute of archaeology National Academy of 
Science of Ukraine on mountain Opuk in Kerch region - Crimea (look at the map). Here 
ancient authors mentioned the city of Kimmerik. In 4 AD on mountain the citadel 
has been constructed when Uzunlar wall becomes a border between Chersonese and 
Bosporus. The Citadel survived up to 6 century AD. 
The size of a plate 0,62 È 0,49 È 0,20 m. Height of signs of 0,15 m, relief 
depth - 0,005-0,009 m (cut out was a background, so cross and signs are 
elevated). 
Publicators interpreted inscription as a herulic and descended from local pagan 
sanctuary ( VK Golenko, VJ Yurochkin, OA Sin'ko, AV Djanov - Runicheskij kamen' 
s gory Opuk i nekotoryje problemy istorii severoprichernomorskich germanzev ( 
Runic stone from Opuk mountain and some questions of history of Germans on 
North coast of Black sea ) . In: Drevnosti Bospora 2. (Antiquities of Bospor) 
Their interpretation is disputable enough. Some of specialists considered 
authenticity of this find as doubtful. 
It would be interesting to know your opinion.
