Scirii Warriors

The warriors of the Scirii have a well-deserved reputation.

The Scirii made several appearances in histories chronicling barbarian movements between the 2nd century BC and the 5th century AD. Etymologically speaking, they were probably Scandinavian in origin; they were referred to as ‘Scanians’ during the Gothic Wars of AD238 – 512 and the Goths’ name for themselves, ‘Gothiskandzas’, gives further credence to this theory. In fact, the Scirii may actually have been one of two early Gothic tribal groups from the Baltic coastal regions, specifically parts of modern-day Poland, before their initial migration around 200BC. By the time of the Hunnic incursions into southeastern Europe the Scirii had settled a territory around the Carpathian mountain range, having made peace with the Romans who dominated the region some centuries earlier. Following their defeat by Attila’s hordes, the Scirii sensibly allied themselves with the Huns, various factions eventually joining back up with Gothic confederations after the collapse of the Hunnic Empire. Due to their final geographical location, many Scirii later became Roman foederati. Indeed Odoacer, the first king of Italy following the Western Roman Empire’s collapse, was known to be of Scirii descent.
