Abstract

The task of the following paper is to give some details of the ancient harbour of Callatis. Over the course of archaeological investigations, a reconstruction of the shoreline has been put together and many architectural and portable sources have been discovered. The archaeological coastal sites of the Black Sea are partially submerged and the research carried out within the port area of Callatis is therefore of great importance.
