There is still no unanimity among researchers regarding either the typological development of Heraclean stamps or their relative and absolute chronology. Debates arise regarding both the initial and final stages of stamping. Several complexes containing amphorae with the stamps of the magistrate Κρωµνίτης from the burial mound no. 5 of the “Five Brothers” group, building complexes no. 17 and no. 30 of the Elizavetovskaya settlement, burial no. 2 of the burial mound no. 4 of the Nikonion necropolis, and well K-4 in the North-Eastern district of Chersonesos are analyzed in this article. The examined materials provide means for claiming that the activities of the named magistrate occurred in the second half of the 370s or 360s BC. In addition, the dating of the new magistrate Γρυπίων, recently identified by A. B. Kolesnikov, has been outlined according to the specified complexes.
