Can you suggest some good resources for someone looking to find out more about the Scythians?

by Nostromos_Cat

My SO has given me a Scythian trilobate arrowhead as an anniversary present. I know nothing about the culture, except what I've read on Wikipedia, and I'm looking to find out more. What would you suggest as an introduction to Scythian culture and war?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

There is an excellent recent book published by Barry Cunliffe on the topic. It’s easy to read but still informative with lots of maps and pictures of finds. The book is called Scythians: Nomad Warriors of the Steppe and is published by Oxford University Press.
