Siraces
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siraces were a Sarmatian tribe. The Siraces are believed to be the same as the Serboi.
In the late 5th century BC, the Siraces (Greek: Sirakoi, Latin: Siraci) migrated from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea region. By the late 4th century, they had occupied lands between the Caucasus mountains and the Don, becoming masters of the Kuban region. They were the first Sarmatian tribe to have contact with the Hellenic groups on the coast of the Black Sea. The Siraces were a relatively small nation, however with great moral.
They were the most hellenized of the Sarmatians, and maintained good relations with the Bosporans.
