Sheet «Cultural epochs of Ukraine. Scythians»

On September 11, 2020, the series "Cultural Epochs of Ukraine" featured a postage stamp dedicated to the Scythians, tribes that lived in the 7th and 8th centuries BC on the lands of modern Ukraine from the Danube to the Don.

The central and upper part of the block features two archers standing side by side. Each of them holds a weapon in a fighting position with a taut bowstring.

The sheet includes two stamps:

"Battle of the Scythians with the Macedonian army. 39 BC".

"Battle of the Scythians against the army of Zopyrion, the commander of Alexander the Great. 331 BC."

The lower part of the sheet depicts golden household items found by archaeologists.
