front cover: The Scythians’ mastery of mounted archery made them a formidable force in the ancient world.
half-title page: A seventh-century BCE Scythian plaque of gilded silver portrays a helmeted man in riding
posture—a position in which the dead were often buried.
title page: After using their bows and arrows to attack from a distance, Scythian warriors close in with
spears and shields.
page 6: From a plate made in Athens, Greece, around 500 BCE , an archer, dressed and armed like a Scythian,
blows a battle trumpet. Greek archers learned their skill from Scythian mercenaries hired by Athens,
and many seem to have adopted Scythian clothing.
back cover: This gold belt buckle weighs more than a pound; it was one of a pair worn together as a sign of a
noble warrior’s power.
