Who were the Lydians?

Lydia - the name of this small region in western Anatolia is unknown to many. And yet the Lydians, an Anatolian people whose close proximity to the Aegean Sea allowed for the free flow of ideas and culture between Lydia and ancient greece, created an immensely powerful realm which dominated Anatolia and the surrounding territories in the late 7th and early-mid 6th centuries BC. Allied to the Pharaohs and the might of Neo-Assyria, the Lydians were formidable warriors and cavalrymen; their artists and craftsmen, blending anatolian, greek and near eastern forms, created exquisite pottery, painting and metalwork; their kings were the first to mint coinage, revolutionising trade in an innovation which is still used today. The name of their most famous king, Croesus, has become a byword for wealth and riches. In today’s video we will try to uncover more about this little-known people, and to discover the answer to this question: Who were the Lydians?
