Sarmatian Cavalry

The Sarmatian cavalry refers to a group of mounted warriors from the Sarmatian tribes, which inhabited areas around the Black Sea from about the 5th century BC to the 4th century AD. Known for their horse-riding skills and use of heavy cavalry tactics, they often fought with lances, swords, and bows. Their warriors wore armor made from scales of metal or leather, and they were influential in the development of cavalry throughout Europe and Asia. The Sarmatians played a significant role in military conflicts with neighboring cultures, including the Romans, and contributed to the evolution of cavalry warfare.
