Abstract
This document discusses the interactions between the Greeks, Celts, Scyths, and Persians and their migrations, invasions, and trade. Also covered are artwork on items used for armament such as quiver ornaments, helmets, and bridle equipment, and cemetery artifacts. Much information is based on the early historians Herodotus and Strabo. Only the data that pertain to the East-Central European Iron Age, which ends at the Dniester River mouth in Romania, were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes. This means data on the Greeks and the Scythians, until they migrated to Moldova, Romania, or Bulgaria, were also excluded from the indexed data. The author considers Agathyrsi to have been Thracians.
