About this person

Palacus or Palakus was the king of Tavria Scythia who succeeded his father, Skilurus.

Enlisting the assistance of the Rhoxolani under Tasius, Palacus launched an invasion of the Crimea. The invaders were defeated by Diophantus and accepted Mithridates as their overlord. Palacus was the last Scythian king whose name is attested in classical sources.
