During Classical Antiquity, the Thracians and Scythians (a group of ancient tribes of nomadic warriors who originally lived in what is now southern Siberia) in particular were known for their custom of drinking from horns (archaeologically, the Iron Age \"Thraco-Cimmerian\" horizon). Xenophon\'s account of his dealings with the Thracian leader Seuthes suggests that drinking horns were integral part of the drinking kata ton Thrakion nomon (\"after the Thracian fashion\"). Diodorus gives an account of a feast prepared by the Getic chief Dromichaites for Lysimachus and selected captives, and the Getians\' use of drinking vessels made from horn and wood is explicitly stated.
