Scythian Horsemen

Scythian horsemen were skilled warriors from the ancient Scythian culture, which thrived from around the 9th to 1st centuries BCE, primarily across the steppes of Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Renowned for their exceptional horsemanship and archery, they used speed and mobility to dominate their enemies in battle. The Scythians lived a nomadic lifestyle, moving with their herds and employing sophisticated tactics, including mounted archery and hit-and-run strategies. Their society was rich in art and metalwork, influencing neighboring cultures and leaving a lasting legacy in history, often regarded as some of the earliest horse-riding nomads.
