Background

Background

The Iazyges were an ancient Sarmatian nomadic tribe who had swept westward from Central Asia onto the steppes of what is now Ukraine in c. 200 BC and then, in the 1st century BC, further into Hungary and Serbia, settling in Dacia. They were constantly at war with the Romans until their assimilation in the 4th century.
