Abstract

The rise of Media, i.e. the period between the reign of Deioces (728–675 B.C.) and the takeover of Cyrus II (550 B.C.) has a crucial significance even from the point of view of the history of Europe. Ancient sources indicate that groups of peoples migrated from its area even to Europe, therefore it had a direct impact on the course of European history as well. According to Herodotus, the Sigynnae people, who lived on the other side of the Istros river, the present-day Danube, had moved next to the neighbouring Veneti people from the area of Media. The Median Empire was forming just at the time when, as part of the orientalising period between the eighth–sixth centuries B.C., elements of Ancient Eastern origin started to appear first mostly in the western basin of the Mediterranean (Iberia, Italia), then in the inner regions of the continent as well, the scope of which has far exceeded the objects that had been imported. One of the most striking manifestations of the power of the new elite and the transformation of the social structure was the building of the Giant Tumuli. The tumulus excavated on the Strupka-Magyar estate in Regöly, found in the south-eastern part of Hungary is yet the only one in Europe which can be directly related to the area of the Median Empire, based on both the observed phenomena and the written sources. The occurrences of new technologies within Europe, in the centre of the people in current-day Regöly whom were called the Pannonians by Roman Age sources, the continued production of various types of pottery originated from the Ancient East, the apparently new customs and the socio-structural changes reflected in the tumulus and the structures of settlements are all important additions for the deeper understanding of the orientalising processes. More and more data indicate that the constant conflict situation that developed due to the rivalry between the Medes and the Lydians during the second half of the seventh century B.C. and affecting almost the entire Ancient East, had a determining role in the orientalising process of Europe.
