  Medieval period - History - National Preserve of Tauric Chersonesos, Sevastopol
Cherson's struggle for independence always troubled the central government, which is why in 841 the city was made the center of a theme - a military administrative unit headed by a strategus appointed from Constantinople.
The author of the Lives, himself probably a bishop of Cherson, attempted to underscore the high position of the local church within the ecclesiastical hierarchy and to connect the history of the city with the most outstanding and prestigious events of the history of Byzantium.
Cherson was initially destroyed in the third quarter of the 13th century, possibly by Khan Nogay in 1278.

  Chersonesos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tauric Chersonesos (Greek Χερσόνησος, also Chersones, Khersones, Korsun, Russian and Ukrainian: Херсонес; see also List of traditional Greek place names) was a site of Greek settlements founded approximately 2500 years ago in the southwestern part of the Crimean (or "Taurian" as it was then known) Peninsula.
In the late 2nd century BC Chersones became a dependency of the Bosporan kingdom.
It was subject to Rome from the middle of the 1st century BC until the 370s AD, when it was captured by the Huns.

 biology - Khersones
Tauric Chersonesos, Greek Χερσονασος; (Chersones, Khersones, Korsun, Russian: Херсонес;) was the Greek settlement founded approximately 2500 years ago in the southwestern part of Crimean (Taurian) Peninsula.
During much of the classical period the town was a democracy ruled by a group of elected archons and a council called the Damiorgi.
It became a Byzantine possession during the early Middle Ages, but Byzantine rule was light; according to Theophanes and others, Cherson was the residence of a Khazar tudun in the late 600's.

 History of Cherson: Roman and Byzantine Outpost in the Crimea
And soon, Lamachos, beloved by the people of Cherson, died and Gykia was saddened by the loss, so she proposed a celebration of him every year where the people of the city would come and drink at her expense.
From this time on Cherson became part of the Byzantine theme system, but that could not save it from Vladimir of Kiev who took the city to remind the Emperor Basil II Bugaroktonos that he was tardy in sending his sister Princess Anna as a bride.
However Cherson's death blow didn't come from these traders, but from the barbarians the city had always fought against in the form of the armies of the Golden Horde who finally took the city in 1399 and completely destroyed it to the point that it was never again resettled.

 Welcome to Ukraine
Cherson’s economic dominance was undermined by Kaffa (today’s Feodosiya) which developed, under the Genoese, into a major trade centre.
At the very end of the thirteenth century, Cherson was sacked and then taken by storm by the Mongols and Tartars who had appeared in the Crimea for the first time back in the 1220s.
The Genoese built a new fortress, Cembalo (today’s Balaklava) and a port fifteen kilometres away from Cherson which led to a further weakening of the economic and political significance of Cherson.

The ruins of Cherson cover a cape on the edge of the city and parts are under water.
Ancient Cherson (destroyed by the Mongols-Tatars in the 13th century) is the one labeled with large letters - it is not the modern Cherson (founded 1779) labeled with small letters.

 Justinian II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Meanwhile the bitter dissensions caused in the Church by the emperor's bloody persecution of the Manichaeans, and the rapacity with which (through his creatures Stephanus and Theodatus) he extorted the means of gratifying his sumptuous tastes and his mania for erecting costly buildings, drove his subjects into rebellion.
Justinian escaped from Cherson after almost nine years and married Theodora, sister of Ibousiros Gliabanos (Busir Glavan), khagan of the Khazars.
Cherson revolted; under the leadership of Bardanes, the city held out against a counter-attack and soon the forces sent to suppress the rebellion joined it.
