Maeotian Swamp
The Maeotian Swamp (, ''ē Maiōtis límnē''; (ラテン語:Palus Maeotis)) was a name applied in antiquity variously to the swamps at the mouth of the Tanais River in Scythia (the modern Don in southern Russia) and to the entire Sea of Azov which it forms there. (The sea was also known as the (Lacus) ) and by other names.〔) The people who lived around the sea were known as the Maeotians, although it remains unclear which was named for which.〔James, Edward Boucher. ("Maeotae" and "Maeotis Palus" ) in the ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography'', , . Walton & Maberly (London), 1857. Accessed 26 Aug 2014.〕
The Ixomates were a tribe of the Maeotes. To the south of the Maeotes, east of the Crimea were the Sindes, their lands known as Scythia Sindica.
The marshes served to check the westward migration of nomad peoples from the steppe of Central Asia. The Iazyges, a Sarmatian tribe, were first heard of on the Maeotis, where they were among the allies of Mithridates II of Parthia. The untrustworthy 4th-century ''Historia Augusta'' claims the Roman emperor Marcus Claudius Tacitus secured a victory over the Alans near the marshes during his brief reign in 275 and 276.
