Sarmatians – Relatives of the Scythians, who supposedly spoke a similar language and had a common origin. There are suggestions that Sarmatian came from the Turkic or Fimmo-Ugrian groups, such as some early form of Hungarian. However, these suggestions have not so far been generally accepted. After defeating the Scythians around 150 BC, they gradually occupied Southern Russia and assimilated some of the Russians. One of their tribes, the Yazigs, arrived in the Carpathian Basin and settled on the Hungarian Plain in 101 AD. The so-called “Csörsz árka”, a long, protruding fortified wall at the edge of the Plain, is attributed to them. Their relatives, the Roxolans who, at first, settled in Wallachia, followed them, and later, moving through Dacia, the majority of them also settled on the Plain. The Sarmatians arrived in the Carpathian Basin in three waves between 101 and 271. These two tribes were the first line of defense against the barbarians from the East. The Gepids and the Goths, arriving from the East, assaulted the line of the Danube in several waves from about 270 to gain entry into Pannonia. The Sarmatians were not mentioned by the sources until 469, at the time of the arrival of the Huns, when they resurfaced among the members of the German alliance fighting against the Eastern Goths. Their last mention is dated to 488, when the Eastern Goths, moving into Italy, defeated them. Emperor Constantine I defeated the Goths and later, during the internal fights among the Sarmatians, he allowed a great number of people to cross the border at the River Danube into Pannonia. They ruled until the end of the Roman Empire but eventually were wiped out in the internal squabbles. Some of them survived to be absorbed by the Avars. They were fierce fighters, adopted the same fighting methods the Scythians had used before them and the Magyars after them. Herodotos and other contemporary writers portray them in a fighting habit made of fastened scaly horn-sheets. This description was later substantiated by archeological finds. Their art, such as arms, jewels, and equestrian accoutrements found in their tombs were made of precious metals. The important characteristic of their art, the depiction of animals, was pushed into the background and the few remaining pieces show animal struggles and not the animals per se. The botanical and geometric ornaments appeared together with what is called the polychrome style; the advent of colorful precious stones encased in precious metal. Together with the traditional art of the Scythians, the Greco-Bactrian and Hellenistic art also strongly influenced them. The most important artistic finds are from the Kuban region and the so-called Siberian Gold sheets. – B: 1230, 1666, 1144, 1153, 1020, T: 3240.→Scythians; Avars.
