Skudra or Scudra ((ギリシア語:Σκύδρα)) was a province (satrapy) of the Persian Empire in Europe between 510s BC and 479 BC. Its name is attested in Persian and Egyptian inscriptions (an Egyptian record of c. 498–497 BC, and a list on the tomb of Darius the Great at Naqsh-e Rustam, c. 486 BC.). It is believed to have comprised the lands now known as Thrace and Macedon.〔("Achaemenid Satrapies" retrieved July 2015 )〕 N. G. L. Hammond hypothesizes that the name ''Skudra'' may have been the name originally used for this region by the Phrygians, who had settled in the area before migrating to Asia. Persian sources describe the province as being populated by three groups: the ''Saka Paradraya'' (possibly referring to Getae); the ''Skudra'' themselves (possibly Thracians), and ''Yauna Takabara''. The latter term, which translates as "Ionians with shield-like hats", is believed to refer to Macedonians.〔 The Thracian and Scythian regions were conquered by Darius I around 512 BC, the Macedonian kingdom by Mardonius in 492 BC. The latter had been a vassal of Persia since 512/511 BC, but remained having a large amount of autonomy.〔Joseph Roisman,Ian Worthington. ("A companion to Ancient Macedonia" ) John Wiley & Sons, 2011. ISBN 144435163X pp 343-345〕 The 492 BC campaign led by Mardonius made it a fully subordinate part of the empire. ==See also== *Ionia (satrapy) *Kausia *Skydra 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skudra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
