Are these the people the Greeks and Romans called Scythians?

If so they were both numerous and warlike.

“Are these the people the Greeks and Romans called Scythians?”

The “Hells Angels of the Steppes”.

No, the Scythians entered from the same direction, but centuries earlier. They were related to each other, very distantly, both geographically and chronologically. But when the Sarmatians arrived, they pushed the Scythians out and to the west.
