The Sarmatian nobility was a social class in ancient Sarmatia, a region that included parts of modern-day Ukraine, Russia, and Poland. This elite group was known for its warrior culture, often engaging in conflicts with neighboring tribes and empires. They were skilled horsemen and relied on cavalry in battles, which contributed to their reputation as formidable fighters. Sarmatian nobles typically lived in large, fortified settlements and were involved in trade and diplomacy. They practiced a nomadic lifestyle, moving with their herds, and their society was characterized by a strong emphasis on honor and bravery. The Sarmatian nobility played a significant role in the cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia.
