Examines the material culture of nomadic empires that emerged from the Eurasian steppe from antiquity to the early modern era. Thought of as bow-wielding warriors on horseback, tribal groups such as the Scythians, Huns, Turks, Mongols and Timurids encountered and came to rule many cities from ancient Greece to China. Studies the art and architecture of steppe cultures and assesses the dynamics between nomadic and settled civilizations.
