Piraeus (Sarmatians)

The Piraeus (Sarmatians) were a group of nomadic Iranian-speaking tribes that roamed the Eurasian steppes from around the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE. They were known for their skills in horseback riding and warfare, often serving as heavy cavalry in various armies. The Sarmatians had a significant cultural influence on neighboring peoples, including the Roman Empire. Over time, many Sarmatians settled closer to the frontiers of the Roman and Byzantine worlds, and their interactions contributed to the complex cultural and military history of Eurasia.
