The Agathyrsi were a nomadic people, perhaps Scythians or Thracians, that inhabited the Mures region of what is now east-central Transylvania during the time of Herodotus. Herodotus describes them as being wealthy and wearing large quantities of gold as well as holding their wives in common (4.104). Other sources refer to them as "Thyrsagettae", though this may be confusing them with another people mentioned by Herodous, the Thyssagetae.
