Person
Scilurus
Scilurus was a king of the Scythians in the Crimea in the 2nd century BCE, who ruled from Scythian Neapolis near modern Simferopol. He revived Scythian power, issued coins at Olbia and pressed the Greek cities of the region, notably Chersonesus. Plutarch tells how, near death, he showed his sons that a bundle of javelins could not be broken together. His son Palacus succeeded him.
