These archaeological facts, confirmed by the ancient written sources, evidence, in the author’s view, that the first Iazyges appeared in the northern part of the territory between the Danube and Tisza likely around AD 50 unless even precisely in AD 50, in occasion of the events in regnum Vannianum. Another note is that in some cases, nearby these well datable graves were found also graves with poor inventory, yet which contained a series of elements indicative of same group and identical chronological timeframe. Furthermore it was noted that the archaeological finds show that the Iazygian antiquities of the Pannonian Plain are no older than the second half of the 1st century AD and that finds comprising items with a more accurate chronological framing date towards the end of the 1st century AD and in some cases, even the end of the 1st century AD and early 2nd century AD. As to its dating, it was reached the conclusion that it frames to the period of the early/ first two decades of the 2nd century AD, likely after the events of AD 107 – 108 or early emperor Hadrian’s reign. Based on the analyses of artifacts and relevant analogies, the author concluded that the grave at Sânnicolau Mare – Seliște is most certainly part of the group of finds attributable to the so-called “golden horizon” beside a series of other graves and Sarmatian finds of the Pannonian Plain. In addition, the author resumes the discussion concerning certain aspects on the Sarmatian presence in the Pannonian Plain. We also examine herein the issue of the early period of the Sarmatian Iazyges entry and settlement of the Pannonian Plain, which has arisen debates and for which were proposed several chronological framings. This study reanalyses the Sarmatian grave at Sânnicolau Mare – Seliște published and recently dated to the 1st century AD.
