Spears, darts and axes ScythiansScythians widely used spears and darts. Buried next to each warrior always found one or two spears. Some of the graves were more than two, for example, in the royal burial mounds near the town of Berdyansk on the Sea of ​​Azov were more than 10 copies, and darts.
Until recently, historians believed that the Scythians were only short spears and javelins, which could be used only in the melee. This conclusion they did from the simple fact that the graves of the Scythians are small in length and they hardly could fit a longer weapon. As long as they do not pay attention to the fact that the staff in the grave is separate from the tip, no one came to mind that spear before burial could simply break in half. Then it became clear that the legitimacy of the Scythian spear called a spade, as it was more than three meters in length and is clearly intended for equestrian combat.
Scythian battle axWheel gold Scythian battle ax VI century BC from the burial near the village Kelermesskaya Kuban. The top picture view of the side of an ax on the ground - large image butt. Shown here is an iron blade, now destroyed, had the same decoration as the golden plates.Shorter spears at 1.7-1.8 meters long, were used as a propellant and as a thrusting weapon. On drawings and photographs of finds recovered from Scythian burial mounds, one can conclude that short spears were used in combat and hunting. Abandoned skilful hand, a spear could injure or kill at a distance of 30 meters. Arrowheads both long and short forms of copies were different. Increasingly, they took the form of a sheet with a point in the middle, and they had a recess for the shaft. The length of the tip varied within wide limits: from 30 to 72 cm. Longer tips produced appears to increase the penetrative power of weapons.
Darts were only throwing weapons. Their tips were quite different forms. They had a long iron handle of a small pyramidal head, equipped with notches. It is clear that this form was attached to the tip specifically to make it more difficult to remove from the wound or punched shield.
About a hundred battle-axes of various types have been recovered from graves in the former territory of Scythia. A magnificent specimen was found in the famous mound next to stanitsey Klermesskaya. All of it, except for a narrow blade was covered with gold plate. Carefully looked closer to ornaments on the ax, you can see the influence of several styles. Engraved on the blade of a mountain goat and deer. Image goats decorated ax head. On gold-coated handle and you can see these mythical animals, birds and insects.Smaller clubs were not only weapons, but also a symbol of power. A magnificent example of a mace was found in a burial mound Solok.
Summarizing, we can say with confidence that the Scythians in its heyday produced weapons of all kinds of high-quality, well-known in the era before the invention of gunpowder; as well as armor for hiking and equestrian battles, in which the Scythian warrior could resist any adversary. Scythians were not only swords and chain mail. However, there is some evidence that the Scythians still used chain mail.Most of the Scythian armor and weapons were manufactured by local blacksmiths. They spent a huge amount of both local and imported iron and bronze, which was treated with great skill. For the richest Scythian Greek craftsmen produced a magnificent ritual weapon. The Greeks, being unsurpassed masters in processing gold and silver to create true masterpieces. Surviving inside the graves of their former owners ornate weapons and armor and shields overcome the destructive effects of time and are now the property of the world\'s best museum collections.
