Scythian Weapons and Horse Harness in the Territory of Serbia

Abstract

The article analyses the objects of Scythian origin in the territory of Serbia, which show the cultural contacts. Weapons and harness of Scythian origin in Serbia are not numerous and come mostly from burials and as accidental finds. Weapons were found in burial mounds of the Early Iron Age in the areas of Atenica, Pilatovići near Pozega, and Romaja near Prizren. The finds can be traced from Vršac in the north to Prizren in the south, and the vicinity of Pozega in the west. In most cases they are the items imported from the territory of traditional residence of the Scythians.
