Siege of Theodosia (c. 365 BC)

The Siege of Theodosia was a siege carried out by Leukon I sometime after his accession to the Bosporan throne in around 365 BC. Satyrus I, the father of Leukon, had previously laid siege on Theodosia but died during it. The exact numbers of the forces in the siege aren't known.

Siege
After becoming king of the Bosporan Kingdom, Leukon once again attacked the city of Theodosia perhaps as revenge for the death of his father. Tynnichus was sent with a small force to relieve the siege, number less than 200. He successfully defeated the Bosporans as he managed to destroy their siege weapons at night, and use trickery to complete his mission. Leukon was forced to retreat back to Panticapaeum.

Aftermath
Leukon retreated back to Panticapaeum, but sometime in 360 BC, he attacked the city of Theodosia again, starting another siege, but this time finally being able to take the city.
