The sagaris is an ancient Iranian (or Persian) shafted weapon used by the horse-riding ancient North-Iranian Saka and Scythian peoples of the great Eurasian steppe. It was used also by Western and Central Asian peoples: the Medes Persians Parthayans Indo-Saka Kushans Tocharians Mossynoeci and others living within the milieu of Iranian peoples. According to Aristarchus of Samothrace the legendary Amazons used the sagaris as well.
