Abstract
Abstract The paper dwells on the objects of Parthian origin (silver-gilt phalerae and gold- and silverware, glazed pottery) dated to the 2nd-early 1st centuries BC and found in the nomadic burials of Asian Sarmatia. It is noteworthy that a considerable part of them originate from the later, 1st century AD burials. Also remarkable are signs of deliberate damage on phalerae and one of the silver bowls, which probably testify to the fact that these artefacts were acquired by the nomads as booty. The author suggests that these objects appeared in the graves as results of contacts of the nomads and Parthia in the second half of the 2nd century BC known from the written sources.
