Sarmatian Mounted Skirmishers
These mounted skirmishers can reach key areas of the battlefield quickly.The Sarmatians were a steppe people, possibly of Iranian origin, who, following the migrations of the 4th century AD, dwelled along the Danube frontier. Their skill in horsemanship was highly developed, some even crediting them with the invention of the metal stirrup and spur. Today, our knowledge of the Sarmatians is largely due to their burial customs. The Kuban region of southern Russia contains some of the most elaborate Sarmatian tombs, and finds often included a fine array of weapons, metalwork and jewellery that provide a great deal of information about their day to day lives. Full suits of cataphract-style scale armour made for women indicate that female Sarmatians were just as deadly as their male counterparts; it is thought that unmarried women were allowed to ride into battle alongside the men, possibly giving rise to the Greek myth of the Amazons.
