There is also the stele of Tryphon son of Andromenes in Sarmatian cavalry armour and costume, Tanais in the Don estuary.
Note that none of these riders have horse-armour.

Perhaps it is Greek influence in the Bosporan Kingdom. Tryphon son of Andromenes may be a Sarmatian whose family have adopted Greeks names or a Greek who has adopted Sarmatian cavalry style.
