Sarmatian culture
The nobility of the former Commonwealth derived its origin from the ancient Sarmatians. Let's break down this myth to see what benefits it provided in its heyday. What were its effects in the following centuries?
Sarmatia is a cultural term that defines the identity of the peoples living in the former Commonwealth. Sarmatian qualities, such as a spirit of independence, valour, and responsibility for the fate of the community, were an intrinsic part of the ethos of the nobleman. The Sarmatian myth developed over the centuries to become an important unifying concept in a country of many peoples, languages, and religions. Over time, a unique culture developed around it, encompassing the public sphere, art, literature, and private life. Let us examine the admirable qualities of Sarmatism, without omitting its less glorious aspects.
