Sogdian Warriors

The Sogdians are fierce, and their warriors feared.

Sogdia was once a belligerent power to the north of Persia, independent buffer between the Archaemenids and the nomadic Scythians. That all changed, however, after Alexander the Great conquered the Sogdian Rock and merged the territory with Baktria, shattering the military power of both in the process. After subjugation by Alexander, Sogdians became traders, cementing themselves far along the Silk Road. In approximately AD260, the Sogdian central city, Samarkand, was conquered by the Sassanid Empire, following which it became a major religious centre, spreading Manichaeism into Asia. Sogdia's independent military power was forever dismantled but the Sassanids held on to Sogdia until the mid-4th century, when the nomadic confederation of Hephtalites seized the region.
