Phanagoria was the largest Greek colony on the Taman peninsula, spreading on two plateaux along the Asian shore of the Cimmerian Bosporus, 25 kilometers (15.5 mi) northeast of Hermonassa.
The ancient city became the great emporium for all the traffic between the coast of the Palus Maeotis and the countries on the southern side of the Caucasus, and was chosen by the kings of Bosporus as their capital in Asia, Panticapaeum being their capital in Europe.
It was at Phanagoria that the insurrection broke out against Mithridates the Great, shortly before his death; and his sons, who held the citadel, were obliged to surrender to the insurgents.

  Phanagoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phanagoria was an ancient Greek colony on the Taman peninsula between the Black Sea and the Azov, roughly on the site of modern Tmutarakan.
In the late seventh century Phanagoria became (at least nominally) a Byzantine dependency; a Khazar tudun was nonetheless present in the town and de facto control probably rested in Khazar hands until the defeat of Georgius Tzul in 1016.
The emperor Justinian II was given a house in Phanagoria by the Khazar Khagan Busir Glavan after his escape from exile in Cherson and before his return to Constantinople by way of Bulgaria.

 Phanagoria Grenadiers collective awards Aleksandr Popov bayonet march   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
All 4 battalions of the Phanagoria Regiment took part in the parade, and in formation there were 7 field-grade officers, 61 company-grade officers, 233 non-commissioned officers, 58 musicians, 1103 privates, and 40 non-combatant personnel.
That this award to the Phanagoria soldiers was announced by an order to the military district’s troops more than one and a half months after being granted may be explained by its unusual character.
Passing by in ceremonial marches holding rifles at “charge-bayonet” was an extremely rare distinction which in the Russian imperial army was held by only two regiments, as well as by one military educational institution which received it as part of the Russian army after the end of the Civil War in southern Russia.

its population left virtually no traces, and Phanagoria was revived back to life only in the second half or even at the end of VII c, that is, after the break up of Great Bulgaria and the conquest of the eastern Azov lands by the Khazars [9].
Phanagoria was one of the most important administrative and military centres of the Khazar khaganate, which during the years 698-704 gave refuge to the dethroned Byzantine emperor Justinian II.

Busir, perhaps seeking to use him in his political maneuverings with the Byzantine Empire, welcomed Justinian and gave him his sister in marriage (the woman's Khazarian name is unknown, but she took the baptismal name of Theodora.) Busir provided the couple with funds and a house in Phanagoria.
Busir dispatched two agents, Balgitzin and Papatzys, to kill Justinian, but the latter was warned by his wife, who bribed the assassins' slaves to learn the nature of their mission.
Turning the table on his would-be killers, Justinian murdered the pair after a banquet and fled Phanagoria by ship, seeking aid from Khan Terval of Bulgaria, with whose help he retook Constantinople.

In the capital city of Phanagoria, khan Kubrat declared the ruler of all Bulgarian tribes living in the region of the Black Sea, Azov Sea and the Caspian Sea.
It was at the town of Phanagoria on the coast of the Azov Sea.
It is clear that khan Kubrat was a man who had acquired in Byzantium great knowledge about the structure and functioning of the state machinery and who, without doubt, tried to establish a perfectly workable administration in his new state after bringing it in conformity with the local conditions and tradition.
