barbariansatthegates:Archer (In Scythian Garb) on a Greek Vase, 520-500 BCE [Source]The Greek archer pictured here sports the typical Scythian garb: a pointed cap and heavily-patterned clothing. The skill and renown of Scythian archers made them popular mercenaries, and subsequent Greek archers were depicted with Scythian attributes. (Note the absence of a beard, indicating that this archer is Greek, and not ethnically Scythian). -- source link
