Sarmatian (or Scythian) soldiers in the 1st century AD

[jho]

Salvete,

Were can I find info on the appearance of Sarmatian or Scythian soldiers in the 1st century AD?

If you speak German, you may want to obtain a copy of:

A. Simonenko, Bewaffnung und Kriegswesen der Sarmaten und der späten Skyhten im noerdlichen Schwarzmeergebiet, EURASIA ANTIQUA 2001, P. 187 et seq.

The article has over 100 pages full of drawings of finds, most of which apparently are otherwise available only in Russian publications and also a few reconstruction drawings.

To me the most surprising fact was that the helmet type best represented was actually the Montefortino helmet with dozens having been found in Russia/Ukraine etc.
