Agri (Maeotae)

Agri were a tribe or settlement belonging to the Maeotae, an ancient people who inhabited the lands around the Sea of Azov (ancient Lake Maeotis). The Maeotae were a diverse group of tribes, and Agri is mentioned alongside other Maeotian groups by classical authors such as Strabo and Pliny the Elder. The precise location and cultural characteristics of the Agri are poorly documented, with limited archaeological evidence to provide further details. Their subsistence likely revolved around agriculture and fishing, typical of the Maeotae in general. Further research and archaeological discoveries are needed to provide a more complete understanding of the Agri and their place within the broader Maeotian context.
