The article examines a collection of metal elements of costume from the Roman period and the Great Migration period from the State Historical Museum. It comes from Eastern Crimea (Kerch or Theodosia). Among the Roman time artifacts, the most numerous are brooches and buckles, bracelets, and pendants of “barbarian” origin, associated with the Sarmatians, Germans, and, possibly, the Western Balts. Items from the era of the Great Migrations, including brooches, buckles, and bracelets, belong to the Goths of the Cimmerian Bosporus. Their presence in this collection allows us to reiterate the question about the population of Theodosia at the beginning of the Middle Ages.
