The Scythians (or Skythians) were horse-mounted nomads who migrated from Central Asia to the steppe in modern-day Ukraine and Southern Russia from approximately the 7th century BC until the 3rd century BC. "Though the 'Scythian period' in the history of Eastern Europe lasted little more than 400 years, the impression these horsemen made upon the history of their times was such that a thousand years after they had ceased to exist as a sovereign people, their heartland and the territories which they dominated far beyond it continued to be known as 'greater Scythia'. From the very beginnings of their emergence on the world scene the Scythians took part in the greatest campaigns of their times, defeating such mighty contemporaries as Assyria, Urartu, Babylonia, Media and Persia." (The Scythians, E.V. Cernenko, Osprey, 2012)
