Scythia

The Old Guard. Band 3 (eBook, PDF)

Im Leben von Andromache von Scythia, einer über 6.000 Jahre alten Kriegerin, die mehr Schlachten geschlagen hat, als sie noch zählen kann, gibt es nur eine Begleiterin, die immer für sie da war: ihre Kriegsaxt. Nicky und Yusuf, die sich bei den Kreuzzügen kennengelernt haben und seitdem unzertrennlich sind, hatten in dieser Hinsicht mehr Glück, auch wenn das Leben als gleichgeschlechtliches Paar im Lauf der Jahrhunderte nicht immer einfach war. Davon kann sogar Einzelgänger Booker ein »Lied vom Tod« spielen... Im dritten Band der gefeierten Serie »The Old Guard« lernen wir endlich die Vorgeschichten der unsterblichen Söldner kennen! Neben Greg Rucka und Leandro Fernández lüften Superstars wie Matt Fraction, Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker, Justin Greenwood und Nicola Scott den Schleier der Jahrtausende und bescheren uns ein Actionspektakel der Extraklasse.

Thrace: The History of the Ancient World's Link Between East and West , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 115min

By the seventh century BCE, Thrace was experiencing the migration of Cimmerians and Scythians. The result was that the northern Black Sea Scythians developed first on the territory of Byzantium, and trade and industrial colonization stretched from the Golden Horn to the Sea of Azov and the lower Don region. In addition, the Sarmatians and Getae on the lower Don were also involved in a profitable trade with this area. The continuing economic and political ties with the Don region and the Getae, with trade contacts reaching the Middle Don and the Southwestern Urals, even linked Byzantium with Russia prior to Constantine. From 580 to 300 BCE, Ionian colonization of the Bosporus gave rise to a number of systems that created powerful regimes to protect their strategic assets. Spartan colonists against the Scythian state from the Dniper to the Dardanelles also created a violent combination that almost constantly placed the region in chaos. At the same time, the region helped transmit Greek culture to Central Asia and southern Russia. During the last three centuries BCE, the region focused on trade with the new masters of the steppes, the Sarmatians, living in Asiatic Scythia on its border with the European Don area. The trade network near the Don region in the beginning of the third century BCE was marked by the city of Tanais. It was not until the first century BCE that the region was firmly part of the Roman Empire, and the Romans' influence also ultimately led to the spread of Judaism and Christianity. ungekürzt.

The Parthian Empire: The History and Culture of One of Ancient Rome's Most Famous Enemies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min

The Parthians in whose hands the empire of the east now is, having divided the world, as it were, with the Romans, were originally exiles from Scythia. This is apparent from their very name; for in the Scythian language exiles are called Parthi. During the time of the Assyrians and Medes, they were the most obscure of all the people of the east. Subsequently, too, when the empire of the east was transferred from the Medes to the Persians, they were but as a herd without a name, and fell under the power of the stronger. At last they became subject to the Macedonians, when they conquered the east; so that it must seem wonderful to everyone, that they should have reached such a height of good fortune as to rule over those nations under whose sway they had been merely slaves. Being assailed by the Romans, also, in three wars, under the conduct of the greatest generals, and at the most flourishing period of the republic, they alone, of all nations, were not only a match for them, but came off victorious; though it may have been a greater glory to them, indeed, to have been able to rise amidst the Assyrian, Median, and Persian empires, so celebrated of o]d, and the most powerful dominion of Bactria, peopled with a thousand cities, than to have been victorious in war against a people that came from a distance; especially when they were continually harassed by severe wars with the Scythians and other neighboring nations, and pressed with various other formidable contests. - An ancient Roman account of the Parthians. The Parthian people created an empire that lasted almost 500 years, from the mid-3rd century BCE until 224 CE, and it stretched from the Euphrates River in the west to Central Asia and the borders of Bactria in the east (Brosius 2010, 83). ungekürzt.
