After their assault on the Zarubinian fortresses of the Tyasmyn and Ros' areas south of Kyiv. The assaults are dated as of the later 1rst c. BCE (between ca. 40 and 20). According to Ukrainian archaeologists this was a local war between Yazigi and Zarubinians, in the period subsequent to the Burebista era. One has to guess the motives. There is such a dearth of information that it's quite difficult. But one thing is certain: everyone is agreed on this. The Yazigi were located in the steppes between Danube and Dnipro at the time of the Mithradates saga and after. They were basically still there in Augustan times. They are one of the main Sarmatian groups with which he concluded a treaty in ca. 2 BCE. Their migration into Hungary did not begin until the early years of the 1rst c. AD. There is no record of any kind, historical or archaeologicaL of any move into any of the Przeworsk areas by them. At any time in the 1rst c. BCE or AD. There is no record of
any move there by Zarubinians either, or by any group "from the east". Sapienti sat.
