Amphoras of “Delakeu” type were produced on the outskirts of Sinope. From the middle of 4th century they completely prevail on the southern settlements of the Chernyakhov culture, and they are practically not known in other places. In the autor’s opinion, this is the result of the agreement of Constantine I with Goths dated by AD 332. After the agreement the Sinopean wine in specially made big amphoras and other goods began to come in large quantities to the Chernyakhov territory by trade and as component of compensation for federates’ detachments.
