    Default Steppe Peoples

    In light of the Nomadic Culture Pack announcement, I was wondering if anyone had any interesting reading material on the Scythians, Massagetae and Roxolani in particular, though any information on other nomadic steppe tribes would be welcome too. Book recommendations, sites, articles etc. would be greatly appreciated, especially during the period Rome 2 takes place.

    I've always loved playing the Scythians and Sarmatians in RTW/BI (and as you can tell by the username I've got a kind of history chub for these sorts of things).

    English only, unfortunately.

    Chloe: Thanks a ton, I will have to check those out. Good to know the first one is available on Kindle, I can get started right away.

    This is a rather old book, but it's still a pleasure to read. The Kindle edition is much cheaper, so if you have a Kindle I'd recommend going that route.

    I've only read the first half of this book, but what I managed to get through wasn't half bad.

    Herodotus has some lovely passages on steppe people; I recommend this edition.
