movement towards polychromy in early and late Roman times, and this movement in
its turn prepared the ground for the triumphal march of Sarmato-Gothic jewellery. It
is worth noting that Hellenistic polychrome jewels of the Syrian kind found their way
to South Russia, where they mingled with Sarmatian jewellery as early as the second century
B.C. (Artyukhov's barrow). The Celtic enamels of the second and third century a. d.
(the workshop of Antheus) were also brought to South Russia, probably by Roman soldiers
(scores of them have been found at Ai-Todor, Chersonesus, Kerch, &c.). But they are
easily distinguishable from the products of Sarmatian art.
9. The part played by the Alans in the Gothic invasion of Europe. In most of the
works on the period of migrations, the part played by the Sarmatians and especially by the
Alans in the conquest of Western Europe is almost ignored. But we must not forget that
the Alans long resided in Gaul (L. Schmidt, Allgemeine Geschichte der germanischen
Vdlker, 1909, p. 41), near Orleans, that they and other Sarmatian tribes never disappeared
from the Danube ; that they invaded Italy, and that they came with the Vandals to
Spain and conquered Africa ('rex Alanorum et Vandalorum' is
of Africa).

11. The fantastic animals. The history of these creatures of Sumerian fancy is not
yet written. H. Prinz (see E. Meyer in the preface to H. Prinz, Altorientalische Symbolik,
Berlin, 1915, p. vi) proposes to give a full catalogue of them as far as oriental art is concerned.
