Short description

These horsemen from the Sindike peninsula are skilled skirmishers.

Description

The Sindians (Σινδοί) were the inhabitants of Sindike, the modern Taman peninsula opposite Crimea in the North Eastern part of the Black Sea. The territory north of the river Hypanis (Kuban) had been controlled by the Sindians from the earliest times, or at least since the times of Herodotus (5th century BC) who is the first to attest their presence (Hdt. IV, 28, 2). According to Pseudo-Skymnos (Ps. Scymn. 888), possibly a Bithynian author of the middle of the 2nd century BC, a party of Greeks founded a city with an adjacent harbour as the capital of the Sindike at some point in the Hellenistic age. Strabo (63 BC-24 AD) still knows this Sindikos Limnen (XI, 2, 14). In any case, most of Sindike fell under the control of the Bosporan Empire in the time of Leukon I (ruled 389-349 BC), after which the Sindians supplied troops for the army of their new overlords. Due to the influence of the nearby Scythians, they mainly fought as light cavalry, albeit preferring javelins over the bows of their neighbours.
