Abstract
The battle line of the Roman legions from the Army of the Danube Provinces, which participated in maintaining the security of the North Black Sea Allies of the Empire, was explored. Roman troops deployed in Olbia, Tyra, Chersonesus Tauricus and the Bosporus at different times. They defended the Hellenic settlements from the barbaric danger, but, if necessary, began fighting against those local rulers who risked challenging the Roman authorities in the region. Found that case the Hellenic policies North-Western Black Sea region under the control of the administration of the province Moesia (from 86 A. D. – Lower Moesia). The affairs of the kingdom of Bosporus were taken care of by the Roman administration of the province of Bithynia-Pont. The article shows that the Roman vexillations, provided by the personnel of the north-Black Sea garrison, were mainly formed from legionnaires and soldiers of auxiliary troops of the armies of the Balkan provinces. Troops deployed in Asia Minor provinces could be involved, if necessary. Studies of the history of the Roman legions, which sent their soldiers into the North Pontic vexillations, is important for us, given that, according to Roman administrative practice, the customs tax on the border areas where the imperial troops were located, partially or completely passed under the control of the army officers.
