Seymen (Turkish: seymen or seğmen, Persian: segban, was a rank in the Seljuk military, introduced at the time of the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.[citation needed] In addition, information about the similarities of the Pecheneg costume with the Zeybek-Seymen costume, as determined in the Byzantine chronicles, Claude Cahen explained this case in his article titled Battle of Manzikert According to Islamic sources, with the statements that the clothes of the paid Pecheneg soldiers under the command of Alyatte, one of the Byzantine commanders, could not be distinguished from their cognates on the opposite front. According to some historians, Pecheneg culture has a great influence on Zeybek-Seymen culture.[1][2]
