The Agathyrsi were an ancient people belonging to the Scythian cultures[1][2] who lived in the Transylvanian Plateau next to the Sigynnai and Sindos, in the region that later became Dacia. The Agathyrsi are largely known from Herodotus of Halicarnassus's description of them in the 5th century BC.[3]
