Although the Scythians may have predated the Roman Empire, they decisively defeated the Romans at the Battle of Histria in 62-61 BCE (located in the Ancient Greek polis of Histria, which is found on the Baltic coast in modern Romania). The Sarmatians later subsumed the Scythians. New evidence, including the burial mounds shown above, discovered in Tuva, Siberia, suggest their origins may have been farther east than first believed.         https://phys
