IAZYGES

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 215 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IAZYGES , a tribe of Sarmatians first heard of on the Maeotis, where they were among the allies of 1blithradates the
Great
 . Moving westward across
Scythia
 , and hence called Metanastae, they were on the lower
Danube
  by the time of Ovid, and about A.D. 5o occupied the plains
east
  of the Theiss. Here, under the general name of
Sarmatae
 , they were a perpetual trouble to the Roman province of Dacia. They were divided into freemen and serfs (
Sarmatae
  Limigantes), the latter of whom had a , different manner of
life
  and were probably an older settled
population
  enslaved by
nomad
  masters. They rose against them in A.D. 334, but were repressed by foreign aid. Nothing is heard of Iazyges or Sarmatae after the Hunnish invasions.
Graves
  at Keszthely and elsewhere in the Theiss valley, shown by their contents to belong to nomads of the first centuries A.D., are referred to the Iazyges. (E. H. M.)
