It is 500 to 490 BC so it might well represent the the battle of Marathon.
Herodotos in Marathon speaks only of the Sakes (plural) - most probably Saka.
Greeks probably knew the difference "high hat Saka" and "khaoma drinker Saka" of the Persians
But i feel these guys are Persians based on the very stylized depiction of the "fallen tiara"
Kind regards
