Person
Ateas
Ateas was a king of the Scythians in the 4th century BCE who built a powerful realm north of the Black Sea and extended his rule westwards to the lower Danube. He struck coins in his name at Callatis and at first sought the help of Philip II of Macedon against his enemies, but the two fell out. In 339 BCE he was killed, reportedly aged over ninety, in a battle with Philip's army near the Danube.
