Siracena

Siracena (Greek: Σιρακηνή) is the alleged capital settlement or village of the tribe of Siraces, a powerful, hellenized Sarmatian tribe on the steppe. It was ruled by the kings of the Siraces, most notably Aripharnes, who engaged in the Bosporan Civil War of 309 BC.

The exact location of this settlement is unknown, but it is described as being on the Thatis River (a tributary to the Kuban).
