Situation in the Northern colonies was volatile.
One city would trade with a Skythian clan and be at war with another. A Skythian clan at war with another would sell their captives to the colonists. How do you think Athenians got their Skythian policemen? And a Skythian chieftain might thought that a captured Greek with technical skills was better alive and working than being ritually slain :twisted: Kind regards

Sorry that this is a bit OT, but I dont have drawings of ancient times.
This is my Grandpa who passed away around 2000... & below a lion I did long time ago, that my little brother left his marks! :evil: ...but I love it too because it left memories to tell :lol: Both are very old!.. so i dont think i can draw like that anymore. =============================================== Oh!.... i found the last one, a self portrait, wit the roman parade armor of King Charles V of Spain, made by a italian (if I recall correctly). He was cousin of Duke d' Alba at the same time cousin of the Komnenos. I love his armor, because its lion heads, by that time I drew alot of lions & still love them  ...
