Alanian culture

Alanian culture refers to the customs, traditions, and societal practices of the Alanian people, a historical group linked to the ancient Alans, a nomadic Iranian-speaking people of Eurasia. Known for their prowess in horseback riding and warfare, they historically inhabited regions across Eurasia, including Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Their culture emphasized mobility, kinship bonds, and craftsmanship, with influences seen in their art, language, and social organization. Although much of their original way of life has changed over centuries, their legacy contributes to the cultural mosaic of Eurasian history.
